RuleTek Reviews

- Good pay with steady income growth over time employed - Acceptable benefits options - Relaxed and friendly environment - Helpful and friendly co-workers - Collaborative team environment post initial training periods - Technical focused tasking - Remote and travel opportunities - An ever growing company with a bright future - Dedicated and understanding ownership who value employees beyond just their in office accomplishments - PEGA partner with access to included training materials - Mostly self-dictated training pace with high potential growth rate for those willing to put in the time and effort

- No need to do crosswords to stay intellectually nimble. - Enormous room for learning and career advancement. - RuleTek's partnership with Pegasystems means free access to more training materials than you could ever want or need. - Upper management puts a lot of trust in their staff, and in most cases will act in your best interest. Do *not* abuse this. - Many competitors (Accenture, Pegasystems, RulesWare) expect between 80-90% travel commitment. In contrast, RuleTek aims for 30% or less, and many contracts require little or no travel. This is mutually beneficial for RuleTek, its employees, and its clients. - The atmosphere is very enjoyable and there are often parties or activities, such as Halloween costume contests, rafting trips, etc. - Priorities are : 1) Work Ethic, 2) Aptitude, 3) Credential. RuleTek understands that its first obligations are to its employees and clients. Credentials don't excuse poor work ethic nor aptitude. I disagree wholeheartedly with the reviewer who says that RuleTek is "against collaboration" and further, that this is a con. From a client's perspective, collaboration is a very expensive process. (As they pay hourly for 2, 3, or 4 developers to solve one problem.) As such, it is used with extreme care. Rather than train you to solve problems as a group (which we all know, really means one person solved it and the others followed), and then spring this expectation on you once you'reassigned to a client, you are trained to be a self sufficient problem solver from the beginning. As the cliche goes: "Give a man a fish..." This training and conditioning process will be uncomfortable. You will be asked to solve difficult problems. You will be pushed to your limits. You will emerge stronger, more capable, and more confident. I also disagree that this perspective hinders agile development. Project methodologies dictate what gets done, when, and by whom. Nothing about Agile says that tasks must be done by multiple people simultaneously. After all, only one person can operate one keyboard at a time...
