Route Analyst - be aware - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Applied Weather Technology

Good atmosphere - management had a lot of faith in employees to work within their area of expertise (like zero micromanaging), and for most people it worked really well. Definitely a good fit for people who are self motivated (and not a great fit for those who aren't). People are generally motivated to work hard, but not past a work-life balance. People there, including management, are kind and easy to get along with. The CEO is very thoughtful and makes a real effort to get to know everyone - and he's especially respectful of each individual's area of expertise.

Wasn't a huge fan of the open-office environment, although it helped to have a lot of meeting rooms available - for meetings and sometimes just a quiet place to work. Now that they've joined forces with a larger company, there is some level of 'bureaucracy', although I'd stress that's a real minor issue.

Management understands that people have a life outside of work, and is accommodating. Environmental impact: This company tells captains of container ships where to drive so they will go port to port quickly, safely, and using the least fuel, often saving 5% to 10%. Your work with this company can make an enormous impact on the environment. One rotation of a ship's propeller is around 6 gallons of fuel. The company changed ownership recently and replaced the existing infrastructure with cutting edge IBM hardware and fully licensed Microsoft products. If Microsoft makes one, and it is not Azure only, then they probably have one.

This company is starting to embrace some of the silicon valley culture for employee retention like free lunches twice a week, but they have a ways to go. I mostly worked outside of the management structure. Some more guidance would have been appreciated.
