Don't work here - Halifax has way better companies. - Anonymous employee Affinio Employee Review

Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. Sorry to hear you've ended up with this sort of an outlook, though -- as important as it is for us to get feedback like this, it's also a reminder that some people make their minds up about their own shortcomings and shake their fist at their environment. Still, I'm always happy to help clear things up. Take your comment on dev salary -- we're active members of the community as much as we are developers ourselves. As such, we know what rates in the region and beyond look like, and I'm very happy to say that we've positioned ourselves well north of that as a team. My personal hope is that working here can be very financially lucrative for every Affinio dev. Of course, it's true that salary growth is a reflection of personal growth -- perhaps this is where your confusion here comes from. We do care very much about our employees -- I promise that cases like your own are the sort that keep us up at night -- but you'll find, of course, that our programs and transparency initiatives address concerns like these directly. We want feedback and we respond to it -- that's how it's always been. As far as projects and priorities shifting: Affinio remains a startup. We build our product roadmap with flexibility and agility in mind, and though we haven't had any particularly short-lived projects in awhile, they do sometimes happen -- we reprioritize accordingly. The alternative would be a slow march toward obsolescence, and we'd much rather pivot where appropriate. You're right about one thing: there is a category of developer for whom Affinio is not the best place to work. In fact, you'll find no shortage of better places to work if, for example, you're the sort of developer who doesn't want to learn to use new technologies. In fact, I'd go so far to say that, for developers who want to sit on their resume, put in a minimum effort and shirk responsibility, you'll run into trouble here. We make every effort to help grow our devs and improve their sills, but if you're the sort of person who shuns advancement, no, this isn't the place for you. But, if you want to work on bleeding edge tech, own your own code, build and guide features from scratch to client elation? If you want your career to grow in step with your talent and passion? And if you want to work on some of the most challenging and interesting data projects out there today, I maintain that there's no place better than Affinio to work, as a developer.
