Good place to work - Software Engineer Firmstep Employee Review

Colleagues made this job worth while.

The entire codebase is a mess and hard to work with. Developers spend more time replying to support tickets regarding buggy aspects of the products than actually developing code. The company meetings drag on for hours which eats into precious time which could be used fixing problems or criticals (of which there are at least one a week). There is a playstation kicking around somewhere but the CEO has said it isn’t to be set up. There are very very few senior developers at this company so the opportunities to learn are limited.

You can learn a lot quickly. You are free to express ideas but you must have evidence to back them up. If you can provide evidence based ideas they will help push them forward. Contrary to other reviews the CEO is ok once you get to know him. He’s is very quirky and has a fierce temper. The temper though comes from a place of passion and should be understandable for the company owner.

Very inexperienced middle manager who effectively runs the entire company. Social habits affect job performances. Constant shifts in company direction. Failure to finish anything. Immediate results are considered better than long term ones.
