Pros

I enjoyed working with some of the people.

Cons

The company was bought by a private equity firm. Once the company had fully transitioned over to the new management, they were fully embracing and using the agile "scrum" methodology and pushing new software developers to work at a rate equivalent to those who knew and worked with the software for 15+ years. The company prefers quantity over quality. There were several times where the DEV database was not in synchronization with the DEV software, because of developer error. This is a company where pace of work outweighs quality. Also, of note, you will be working with legacy VB.NET software, and forget about Entity Framework. This company created their own database classes to interface with the database, and these classes tend to have crashes because of problems with the database and the software not being in synch. I attended a luncheon for an employee and was seated at the same table as the President of the Lumber, Building, and Hardware Division. The president of the division made a few disturbing comments at a table consisting of 1 woman and several men. "My dog does not like to get his pecker wet when we go hunting, and he defecates in his food bowl. I am waiting for my dog to die. "

Pros

Great culture and work life balance. Leadership is personable and knowledgeable.

Cons

Other departments may not share the same culture. So this mostly reflects the finance department which has been my experience.

Pros

Work remotely, potential to move around within company

Cons

Lots of corporate time wasting, where nothing seems to function efficiently because there’s too many higher-ups hired to “oversee” or manage nothing. Seemed like they were so committed to selling the mission and vision to employees that they took no time to focus on improving the products to actually have long term value.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated working remotely during your time at ECI. However, we regret that your experiences with us did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the efficiency of our internal management structures and the alignment between our product development and customer feedback. We are dedicated to improving and as such, we will explore our options for advancement moving forward. We wish we had the opportunity to resolve these concerns while you were employed, however, we appreciate your feedback now. We wish you the best.
