Good company with Innovative ideas - Software Developer Guild Software Employee Review

None. It's one of the worst places I have ever worked.

- Nothing is documented properly and there are no processes in place. - Business decisions ofter over turn weeks/months of your work and then you are asked why something isn't completed a few days later - there seem to be the expectation that once a decision is made by the upper management, the development side should magically happen in no time. - CEO thinks he understands development because he built a few Joomla websites 20 years ago. He has no idea what he's talking about and often makes up words to try to sound like he knows what's happening. - Lot's of unhappy customers who were all promised extensive customizations which haven't been built and probably never will be. - No one seems to know what's going on beyond the next 5 days. - I was promised the world when they hired me but I quickly saw that there is no progression, not much opportunity to learn (short of figuring out how to do everything myself and burning out) and definitely no pay raises - I asked for a fair salary and was offered less with the promise that I would get a raise at 6 months. The raise never happened and speaking to other people, it seems like this is a common way they scam people into taking positions because everyone seemed to have been promised the same thing and no one ever got what they were promised. But hey, there's a beer tap though! Beer taps make up for pay raises and lack of integrity in the management, right?!

- If help or information is needed, co-workers are quick to lend a helping hand. - Up-to-date technology and software used internally allows work to get done in a timely manor without the typical tech issues seen in workplaces, and allows for a simplified way of keeping track of information/documents. - No paper copies!!! - The work itself is enjoyable and there's always something new to learn. - Clean and comfortable office space that promotes collaboration. - Flexibility to work in-office and work from home. - Constructive feedback is given regularly. - Positive and encouraging leadership. - Fun work events -- I got to ride a mechanical bull!

- I had nothing given to me to work on for the first few days after starting.
