DevFactory Reviews

- The company says that there's a lot of flexibility here because of the home based setup, but in reality this just looks good on paper. I tell you, it's even worse than a full time employment in a real company, in here they will force you to install a tracking software called "gTeam tracker", in which it monitors every bit of your privacy, it takes screenshot of your screen, mugshots of your face, the keystrokes your typing and the mouse activities (clicks, scroll, etc...) that you are doing in your remote terminal. They put rules on what is a valid screenshots/mugshots, etc... If you didn't meet that rule, even if you actually work, they will dispute the time-card uploaded by this tracker, and will not pay you for those hours worked. E.g. if it happened that you moved your head and the webcam took a mugshot, if it's not focused on your face, that one will be disputed. They treat you like a robot here. This is because of their philosophy of a "software factory" which is the most ridiculous idea ever thought of. You can't implement a manufacturing strategy in software development because the work done here is not routine like in real manufacturing industries. In software development, it's all about output and brain works, so measuring every move of an employee is not at all an indication of productivity. It's very obvious that the executives in this company never developed/exposed to a single real software development in their entire life, probably they were manufacturing executives before. - Incompetent middle manager. My immediate manager is one of this. And when he feel threatened, he just get rid of his people. - They say there is no politics, but truth is there is. My manager is favoring one team mate who is his puppet, because this teammate is the only person he can control, he is also the less experienced among us that's why. He is the only one who believe the manager, and the manager is positioning him for promotion. If you are a threat you're a goner.

Worst company I ever worked for. Extremely poor management in operations department, enforcing so called 'gteamization' model - technically speaking, it's a process how to create teams made of members who are willing to backstab each other just to avoid getting fired. Everything is ticket driven, they have absolutely no clue how to motivate people to be more productive, instead they are forcing people to lose time filling tickets for literally everything they do. All employees are considered the same, doesn't matter how productive or talented they are. This company is constantly losing most talented people because of the way it treats people. Everyone is spied upon using time tracker application which takes 10-minute screenshots and webcam snapshots, who doesn't obey gets instantly fired. They are running so called template-organization, everyone has predefined hourly rate and is being paid for the amount of hours he works, unless fraud prevention team doesn't stop the payment, only way to negotiate higher salary is by moving to a higher position. These guys are stuck in 2010, absolutely no will to improve operations.
