Management out of touch

Pros

Help simplify and automate complex process of determining solar installation and maintenance costs. Manually takes several days, but the ModSolar Platform reduces to a few minutes.

Cons

Management did not plan employee work loads. - They shifted the teams from one major project to the next every couple weeks on the whim mid-sprints, because of daily changing project priorities. - A major client would email me asking about the status of a project, that my manager had removed me from since I estimated it. Management should have notified the client that I was no longer on the project. - I stayed very late one evening into the next morning with my dev manager, and he did not even offer any dinner nor any type of food to continue work. - Management expected 24/7 server support from the dev team, but had not trained us how to access and manage the production servers. - Health benefits were lacking. The founders did not even use their own health benefits they offered their own company.

Toxic Environment

Business outlook

Pros

Air conditioning, soda, basic conditions for human life. Startup-style open office if you're into that.

Cons

No benefits. Minimal salary. Developers expected to work overtime/weekends with no extra pay. Management has no idea how to gauge project deadlines, consistent pressure to have 5 different things done by tomorrow. Witnessed president of company berate a college-aged intern for not meeting unstated requirements on their work. Extremely high turnover rate, nearly no one who knows exactly how the core product works due to arbitrary firings/large number of interns that only work there for a few months then leave. Work outsourced to Albania despite barely being a 10 person company. Main focus of the company is clearly on the sales/marketing end with technology practically an afterthought.

Pros

Immediate team sticks together. Startup Company Culture. Located close to reading terminal market for lunch. Team members are all working in a conference room. Air Conditioned.

Cons

No transparency from management. No ability to resolve internal issues. Layoff of team members every few weeks. Any opinions given are ignored. Problems created out of thin air where there are none.
