Avoid At All Cost!! - Anonymous employee nFocus Solutions Employee Review

From the highly restrictive office culture (no cellphones, business attire every day, obsessive paranoia about things like thumb drives) to the aversion to such fundamental safety nets as unit testing and gated check ins to a near absence of process (the term "cowboy coding" had to have been made for nFocus!!) to the opaque and top-heavy management to the 94 projects in one solution all referencing each other and sharing a single 'packages' folder despite the fact that there are individual products made up out of those projects to horrible architectural decisions on the part of the head of development (three different data access methods, abstractions of abstractions of abstractions, IoC containers used to spin up monolithic classes, etc, etc), to manual builds and deployments, to ZERO devops monitoring to a cavalier disregard of service and domain boundaries (for example...consuming applications making service calls into a broker API sometimes while directly calling the dll out of expediency at other times)...there really is very little good I have to say about the work environment. A stagnant, suffocating and poorly managed swamp where passion and curiosity go to die.
