“Great work-life balance and opportunities to take ownership, but low career growth opportunities”

Verified User Current Employee · M****** · Senior Web Applications Developer - Aug 8, 2020

Pros* Work-life balance is excellent.
* The company actually seems to care about you and your family
* Parent company is all about helping the community.
* Great set of values.
* Lots of opportunity for ownership on projects.
* Senior Management actually takes time to get to know employees and are very approachable.
* Excellent health benefits (that don't cost an arm and a leg), 5% employee / 4% employer 401K match, dental, etc.
* Tuition benefit allows you to get any online bachelor's degree (doesn't have to be related to your position) at ASU for free or $10,500/year for graduate studies
* Standard bank holidays, plus PTO that increases with years of service
* Stable backing from the largest CU in the state + 50+ other clients

Cons* Low pay compared to market in most positions
* Started as a software company but is quickly becoming an IT/managed services company, so software is underfunded even though it's making most of the revenue since contracts for hosting and disaster recovery still haven't been finished
* Upward movement is minimal. Most positions have levels 1-3 and after that there's no real path into a higher position unless a director leaves.
* Software side operates on a, "This is how we've always done it, and it's worked for us," mindset. Change is extremely slow, even if it could greatly benefit the team.
* Code reviews are weird. The architect does them all where peer review would be much more beneficial.
* Recently migrated from TFVC to Git and no one really understands how to use it properly.
* Documentation is non-existent or hidden in some Word doc on SharePoint that no one ever reads or wants to.
* Lots of red tape around buying new software that could help the team - if the purchase is over a certain cost, it has to serve all departments otherwise it will never be approved.
* Too many useless meetings around planning things that don't need developer insight, or only need a single person.
* Company is very top heavy and management can get in the way of progress.
* A lot of work is focused on following a specified process, when those processes can and never should be "one size fits all"
* PMs don't understand the work on a technical level and often end up omitting key information because they don't know to ask for it from the client
* Software is ONLY manual tested by a non-technical QA team. Unit testing doesn't exist besides in some of the newer front end apps and leadership seems to think they're a waste of time.

SwitchThink Solutions Morning Brew / Apr 23, 2021

For six decades, humans courted the Red Planet-and as tech advanced, so did the Martian milestones. The first flyby mission? 1965. First landing? 1971. First rover? 1997. But the public hasn't had a big-time mission to celebrate in more than twenty years. That is, until this week.
