Pernix Solutions Response
8yWe appreciate all feedback that is objectively and shows accurate information but unfortunately we cannot agree with the review because
1. There are plenty desktop state of the art Mac’s available for use and actually unused; however we do encourage the BYOD to boost productivity which we finance as a benefit.
2. The company pays for a dedicated 1.1 fiber link that is used for video conferencing meetings with team members and clients unfortunately not for other purposes as we encourage pairing and team work.
3. There’s plenty of empty parking assigned exclusively to Pernix and hundreds of parking spots for the office building; so the asseveration on parking is wrong.
4. Our playbook (procedure manual) clearly shows how to provide feedback using an anonymous form, unfortunately the reviewer might have not read or remembered the procedure.
5. The company has not received feedback on the award winning apprenticeship program we run that allow us to follow our vision of “creating software professionals that bring economic and social benefits to our country and region”’we take it very serious and try to make sure everyone is on board with the program that takes students without experience along with senior employees to create prototypes and products for startups, entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs with little or no funding. It makes no sense that the company makes revenue as no respectable client will pay for inexperience students; they help us form the apprentices into true professionals, so finding opportunities for the apprentices is very difficult.
6. Finally the asseveration that students get very vey low payment is not true as they get a good stipend for transportation and leisure (lunch is at the office) years ago our program was an unpaid internship (very popular worldwide) but we decided to provide an stipend to our apprentices.
7. We asked our operations and finance manager for any outstanding stipend due to our apprentices and could not find any.
We regret the feelings of the reviewer but appreciate the opportunity to provide our information.
