ComFrame Software Review - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso ComFrame

The company has reasonably good benefits.

The company is extremely disorganized; with little or no coordination or communication from management. They go as the wind blows with no corporate vision or direction. They are known for putting all their eggs into one basket. If a major account fails, the entire company suffers. Early in their history they saw themselves as having a "mystique", vaguely defined by its strength of IT resources and overall talent pool, along with a focus on Java as a leading-edge technology. Now, even internally they recognize they have lost their mystique. The reasons for this are primarily due to a short-term vision, a body-shop mentality, an addiction to short life-cycle, minimal-resource Microsoft Sharepoint gigs, and a total loss of community recognition as a player in longer-term, mission critical projects.

Pay was decent for the area.

If you have a family. Forget it. Your projects are always expected to come first. You have to bill an insane percentage of time directly (100%) so any company meetings, "fun" company events, etc...are coming directly out of your free time. Don't believe the "feel good" "we are a family" talk from the senior management. Comframe is a typical "body shop" style software consulting firm. They don't really care about the best interests of their clients and will require you to tell bald faced lies to the people who are (in reality) paying your salary. They operate in a manner of many off-shore software dev shops...1. Present the "A-list" team to the client to win the business and secure a contract. 2. Keep those bodies on for a month or two to start, then 3. Start switching them out with B, C and D list people. The whole time, they keep 1 A-lister dev on the project soley as "the face". In reality, that person has no control over what is going on, overseeing the team, or anything. They are just there to "keep continuity". Its too much of a scam.
