ac - Recensione dipendente - Staff Engineer presso Composite Software

Friendly people, always been appreciated for work done. The product itself is great, so I always feel proud to work with such talented engineers around me. There is lot of things to learn here, I personally enjoy this learning cycle.

Sometimes it gets long to get your requests approved but I am sure eventually it does other than that I can't think anything else.

Composite leadership has excellent vision of their competitive space and good insight into what customers want and need. A great social environment with genuinely nice people. Management really tries to create a friendly and open place to work with lots of little extras like a fully stocked kitchen with all kinds of snacks (healthy and not), drinks, fruits, and real food, weekly catered Friday company lunches with open seating, lots of open raffles, contests, and cash prizes for jumping into participate in activities, The management invests time and energy in people and hopes lots of opportunities to socialize will also fortify good team synergy. The Engineering VP has deep and broad technical knowledge and good people skills. He strikes a great balance in both listening and applying critical analysis to propose and assess relative merits and pitfalls likely with various potential solutions. Development working scrums provide teams with frequent informal checkpoints, keeping the work focused on delivering good product according to stake holder requirements.

Over-reliance on JIRA workflow task monitoring has been an unnecessary drag for developers. Task level micro-management and a sense of distrust between product management and developers (among other factors) accelerated team attrition rates in 2011. Engineering team needs new blood to accomplish full roadmap of improvements and feature development.
