Ista North America Reviews
Pros
• Fast paced environment • Some great people • Good building with workout facility & open work areas • Good location (Alpharetta) • Corporate events like annual international Bowling & Soccer tournaments are well executed • Extensive telecommuting program; team members are usually available through Lync • May 2014 reorg seemed to be a positive move • Parent company has deep pockets • Interesting: Actual employees are pictured on the career website • Update: free catered lunch on Thursday was discontinued • Update: New FT employees get benefits starting the first full month
Cons
• High attrition: by my count, 12 people (~10% of the total workforce) quit / kicked out within ~3 weeks in Spring 2014 • Key ista|net product is highly fragmented & needs a major architecture overhaul • Not enough conference room space • Very few onshore developers & QA (~20-30% on my team) – most is offshore contract • Too many people crammed into workspace with small desk areas, most people keep headphones on • Common work hours are wacky. Many developers reported working 12-14 hour days, including many consecutive weekends. However, I noticed that the office was consistently extremely quiet before 9:00, and after 4:00. Lots of “work” executed via iphones.
