Pros

Can use Linux as your desktop PC in the office. Will learn very quickly how not to run a business. Will learn very quickly how not to program. Will learn very quickly how not to interact with / look after clients. Will make you very happy to get any other job anywhere.

Cons

The CEO is unaware of how long jobs take and puts extreme pressure on his employees to meet unreasonable deadlines that he has already promised to clients before asking devs about time frames. The CEO is manipulative to employees under the premise that "we are a family" so that therefore makes doing thing okay that normally wouldn't be. e.g. Not paying employees on time, Getting angry when unrealistic expectations aren't met, Demanding overtime without pay because "we all have to sometimes" The management pushes employees to finish products not as per the scopes in order to save time as time frames are always scoped incorrectly. Management scopes are poorly written and thought out, this leads to poor time management, bad/incorrect code being written, security measures being skipped because "that takes to long and doesn't matter", and client expectations not being met. Biased is given towards different skill sets, knowing Linux isn't valued as security is less important to the CEO. Knowing how to quickly and poorly write code is his primary concern.

Hi Anonymous, I'm sorry you feel that way, I've gone through our records to attempt to reach out to you personally, but I'm having difficulty identifying you from the period you described. Admittedly, as a service orientated business we do have quieter times where it is difficult to support a large sized workforce, and you might have been subjected to cutbacks resulting from that, hence the feelings and experiences you described. One thing I will state is that I do believe we do our best to shield and protect employees from the demands clients can place on a software development build. I take that job extremely seriously, and the fact you feel this way meant that for whatever job you are describing, I didn't complete my mission. If the period of time you worked with our organisation was a while ago, I can let you know that we now have tri-yearly review periods where feedback like you described is encouraged to be provided, we now have a "Career guidance councillor" who assists you all aspects of your career including training and mentor ship, and while I disagree with your statements that the "Boss thinks he knows it all" - as the CEO, I'm always open to learning experiences from any realm I can get them from, including this one. That being said, reviews are apart of our culture, I know we have had numerous happy staff who have enjoyed their time with us (that is evidenced by them still attending our Christmas parties every year!) and I will attempt to balance this negative review by talking to them and getting them to write their feedback on this site (for full transparency). I obviously believe Experience Digital is a great place to work and want our Glassdoor profile to demonstrate that. Anonymous, once again I'm sorry for your experiences with our business, and should you ever wish to reach out and talk to us about the way that we operate and your time here, I'm all ears. Good luck in the future. David Theodorou CEO

Pros

small company everyone knows everyone get to know the inner workings quickly if you play their game, you can do well

Cons

small business owner mindset get rich quick mindset charge as much as possible then fix it later mindset blame and shame employees and clients mindset general low standards across the board with work toxic atmosphere, workplace bullying, work hard and 'take it for the team' tend to push people very hard with promises that never materialise promises of bonuses based on milestones, then change the milestones low remuneration unable to pay ontime as an employee, you feel like a 2nd rate citizen always to those who own/run the business
