Vantaggi

Flexible work hours means the ability to run errands, take walks, or give yourself breaks. Leadership trusts you to get your work done, when the time works for you and that is what is most important. Time & stipends provided for professional development, which can be used on things like AWS certifications, attending conferences or Udemy courses. Flexible PTO, and encouragement from management to use it. Nature of consulting means exposure to new and emerging technologies. Truly on the front line of experiencing what the industry is doing. Volunteer culture encouraged, with twice yearly volunteer days hosted and made available to employees. Happy hours and gaming activities hosted monthly Flexible work from home policy and nice office space if you'd rather be in an office. Small company vibe means you have much more opportunities to step into roles and sway company direction. New office space at the Catalyst Building should be super cool!

Svantaggi

Nature of consulting means sometimes dealing with client developers/project manager's who are unpleasant to work with. Small attendance in office, partnered with high number of remote employees and owners can make it difficult to connect on a human level with coworkers. Some client projects are more desirable than others, and can be disappointing if you end up on a bad one. Company has tripled in size in 5 years (from 10 to 30 employees). That is accompanied with growing pains. These are to be expected, but also clearly present. Heavy emphasis on hiring out of college, so the company is thin in it's middle ranks of experience. Hiring diversity has suffered due to a rush to hire as many good engineers as possible

Thank you for your review of Commerce Architects. The advice on what types of people to hire, and a request to emphasize diversity in hiring are both great suggestions. We have been growing quickly, and you are correct that we have experienced a few speed bumps along the way. We remain focused on creating the best work environment for our employees as possible and will continue to try to add to that list of “Pros”!

Vantaggi

We make a big effort to build and maintain company culture. We do happy hours twice a month, a mix of virtual and in-person. We have large parties twice a year, in summer and winter. During Covid, we did virtual escape rooms, murder mysteries, origami folding, de-mystifying houseplants, herb growing, painting, and more. The software projects are large and complex, with opportunities to work on very large-scale transactional web applications. We put a big focus on career growth and skills development with 3-year career planning, technical mentoring and quarterly goal setting. We are proud to have been selected for the Best Places to Work in the Inland Northwest in 2021. We have a very comfortable office with sit/stand desks for all, ergonomic chairs, keyboard/mouse of your choice, etc. However, employees can choose to work at home as well. Employees enjoy a flexible time-off policy which means no need to accrue hours or worry about how not having enough time accrued to tack on an extra vacation day. Our profit sharing programs, both for quarterly bonus and 401k contributions mean employees regularly get 10+% additional compensation above the already competitive salaries.

Svantaggi

This is a consulting organization, so there are client demands, and it is a service-oriented job. This means hours and workload are sometimes defined by client needs.
