Pros

Some smart and friendly co-workers. Okay benefits. Not much to celebrate. I would not work here! Stay away! Do not apply!

Cons

So many issues with this company, so I will name a few of the issues. The CTO never answers your question, he always dances around the question with psychological double speak! He does not even know the technologies used by the company. He expects you to slave over your job and to follow his version of agile scrum that is constantly under minded by management, including himself, with non-scrum deadlines and constantly changing scope for stories already in a sprint. Management will set deadlines with customers before talking to engineering. They do not bother to tell engineering until the sprint it is due yet they still expect you to meet their predetermined deadline. If you fail to meet this impossible deadline you will be on a list. If you strive to improve this company or start a new process like continuous integration and automated deployment. Expect to get no credit for starting the initiative! If you choose to train your fellow co-workers so that they have domain knowledge to solve an major production issue, expect the CTO to ignore your involvement in resolving the issue! If you have overseas teams that break production, expect to get the blame, have to fix it under pressure, and get no acknowledgement for finding and fixing it! So many more issues with this company... Technical Debt ... Poorly managed ... 24/7 hours expected ...

Pros

Nothing other then you get a paycheck on time and they offer free bagels on Friday.

Cons

Too many... - Management is hopeless, don't expect anything from them. They are busy in filling up their pockets by cutting the employees bonuses and annual raises. - Company do not care about the employees. Doesn't matter how hard the employees work, they can never be appreciated. - Because of the poor and micro management, all talented employees have left the company. Only two verities of employees can be found in CAMP. (A) Ones who are stuck here due to the immigration documents. (B) People who are not capable of finding any job outside. - Not to mention NO growth what so ever.

First off thank you for your feedback. I will make sure to discuss with the proper team members. From experience over the 3 years I have been employed by CAMP I have not seen a missed bonus or a decrease in annual evaluation raises. Only employees who are below adequate on their review would not be granted a raise, and I do not believe there has ever been a salary decrease for anyone. All companies have turn over, we do as much as we can to promote opportunity, and bring in the right people. It would appear that you were part of the IT or Development team, however there has not been anything out of the normal for our Development team in terms of turnover. In response to your growth statement, I would inform you that in the last year alone we have had no less than 4 major promotions, and a number of lateral, and departmental moves for others. While CAMP is a big company, we are not HUGE and thus any internal movement has to be something that is brought up by an employee. We want our staff to want to move up, and ask them to be the proactive ones in terms of requesting or working towards their goals. I will close by letting you know, one of the initiatives to be set in place in 2018 has to do with building and training your staff. I am truly sorry you did not have a favorable experience here at CAMP, I hope as you grow in your career you are able to find success and happiness.

Pros

There are some really nice and hard working employees who starve to bring the change in the company. CEO seems to be a great guy but need some grip on the company before it slips off.

Cons

- CTO has no clue on what he is trying to bring on the table. He is just fooling everyone by so called "PROCESS". He alone caused huge loss of talent in recent years and now company is hiring interns because he can't retain good talent. Unfortunately, camp itself doesn't care about the good employees, instead they are busy focusing on few toxic people, who are polluting the atmosphere. - WFH Policy is a joke. Actually, there is no such thing as Work from Home in Camp but there are "Selective" people who hardly shows up in the office twice a week and no one take action against them because they are "SELECTIVE". - You can't expect to have work life balance here. Management (which is just one person in camp) wants you to work for 10 hours a day + once a week release which goes for 5 hours. Lol...I am damn serious about it.

Thank you for your well thought out comments. I apologize it took me longer to get back to you. I hear a lot of what you are saying, and would love to hear more. I know CAMP does not have a WFH policy in place. I can assure you that nobody is hired with the belief that we offer WFH as we try to keep a team oriented setup. If some people were granted "SELECTIVE" treatment, that is something that was handled on a case by case basis. I know we consistently discuss the idea and how we can make it work, but at the current time we feel it is important to embrace the in office team mentality. In certain times of crunch we do ask employees to offer up more of their time to ensure we reach our goals. Our normal business hours are more than reasonable and I have never received any personal complains about out hours of operation. I know when I have seen the development teams stay late, they are almost always given that time back with late start times or early leave times. I value your opinion and if you would like to discuss more my email is dbuffardi@campsystems.com, I would love to hear you out, and I would keep your personal info confidential. In response to your comments about our CTO, I offer you this. There are many things that go on behind the scenes that even I do not know. All these things effect what decisions and processes we are able to move forward or not. Sometimes, a decision or process may not be favorable for the team, but I can assure you that the choices that are made by the CTO have the overall best intention for CAMP as a business. Again thank you for your comments and if you wish to email me with more comments or info, you have my info.
