Why you don't want to work at telescope! - Software Engineer TELESCOPE Employee Review

At Telescope you get to work alongside some of the most wonderful, smart, and kind people who truly enjoy the work that they do. Very collaborative and positive environment where everyone is working towards the same goals, while having a lot of fun along the way.

No downsides that come to mind!

Friendly office environment with flexibility to work from home at certain times. Holiday PTO during the Christmas to New Years break. Ability to grow yourself as a developer and explore new technologies, if the campaign or product allows it. 401k matching and insurance benefits. The company continues to grow with new developments in their live video platform. Individual team environments are strong.

Tight turn arounds that can be challenging due to lack of commitment on designs and expectations. Salaries are lower than industry standards with minimal increase year over year. Clients takes priority even when they may be incorrect or not understand what they want or need; leading to developers to complete work that is never used, hurried or sloppy. Some team members seem to lose the idea that the entire company as a whole is a team; a mentality of this is my role and my only responsibility.
