Pros

Some colleagues are cool and the team lead is competent. Home base setup. No need to travel.

Cons

I never do this kind of review but this one needs to be addressed. As an employee, I understand that the business interest is the top priority because that's what I am working for. But it does not mean that companies can treat their employees like trash. Employees signed and choose to work for that employer against other opportunities. So it should be the employers duty to take care of the employee's interest as well. Its a two way relationship. But this company seems to only care for its self interest. Removing employees are discretion of the company. But at least explain to them in detail what they did wrong and allow them to explain their side. So everyone would understand the whole situation. Because the problem might be something which can be resolve. (Or the problem is the company itself) If they feel the employee is not producing well, they should ask him to explain. Everything cannot be recorded. So they could gauged if the employee is still worth to be employed. This will show fairness and mutual respect which this company lacks. I find this company prefers individuality instead of teamwork. If someone is struggling, the management prefers to kick him out instantly instead of looking for other ways to help him improve (so he can contribute more). And the fate of the employees will depend on someone's rules or feelings. My experience with this company is that I was not given proper justice. I did my best to contribute but it seems they will only look at failures. There are scenarios in the company's process which affects the employees delivery (which I cannot elaborate here). But the management will not care about it nor will take your side. I am not here to say that I am the very best programmer. But I am not that bad. Information Technology is still improving and I can learn new skills and methods. And I know I contributed well for the benefit of my past employers. Anyway, I do hope that this company will improve and treat this as a constructive criticism.

Pros

remote setup, hmo, holiday pay up to 12 days

Cons

Everything. hubstaff which screenshots your screen every 10 mins, night shift, very bad mgt - I agree with the first review that the mgt has no appreciation at all. High attrition rate, within 2 months handful devs hired and terminated, like they're playing with people's career. Someone might have resigned from his job to join this company only to be terminated within 2 months. They expect all newly hired to be 100% productive not factoring in the learning curve. So if you are in a good place and wants to be "stable" this is not the company to work for. They always find something to pin on you so they can lower your salary, yes, they do that, which I have never heard of until now. Toxic - always critical tickets and rushing things, they sometimes deploy codes without passing QA just to please the manager, and when it has bugs in prod, you'll be damned. You work very hard with high output, but still management wants more. Pay below than standard rate, not to mention no increase at all. So if you got hired at a given rate, expect it to be your salary for many years (if you even get that far). Manager treats us like robots - all work and no appreciation. The team lead is a good leader though, firm, competent and knows how to appreciate when it's due.

Pros

There are a handful of teammates here that believe in being truly people focused rather than where the next dollar is going to come from. There are also ethical concerns.

Cons

There are too many to list: salary is low, benefits are almost nonexistent and there's a very long period of time before they're available.

This review is fraudulent. Our best employees are very happy with their salary. We have awesome benefits: HMO health insurance, paid days off, holidays, sick days. Our team is really great. Those who got fired for poor performance or were caught working other jobs on our time usually write fraudulent reviews. They show all their true colors.
