Svantaggi
I personally found the management and especially Alex toxic. I felt that I was constantly micromanaged and checked in on every 20-30min for a 4hour task to not to ask “hey how’s it going” but “why is this taking so long”. This is a great business tactic because you get workers to feel the same pressure they would at an exam so they stay laser focused at 120% effort, then you replace them once they burn out. It seemed like I had to alert management when I stepped away from the keyboard or took my hand off the mouse. During the interview I felt a very bad vibe but needed a job so ignored my gut feeling. Nothing on Glassdoor helped because i found the 1 review here inaccurate. (their other company Thrinacia also is the same) Lastly, I felt lowballed given far below market average and told “so because we haven’t worked with you yet we’ll give you a probationary salary and after X months we’ll re-negotiate back to market average”. Another brilliant business strategy because this allows a company to pay you much less while they’re burning you out. You have been warned.
Vantaggi
You get to work with different clients directly and in different stacks in short amount of time from fringe, legacy to modern. Wonderful suppurative colleagues. This is a dev agency that also has its in house sass products.
Svantaggi
Waterfall project management system is outdated and hard to keep up with client requests. Minimum support from the management. Needs to pay out of pocket when cases gone wrong. Needs to spend great amount of time on investigation on existing clients due to problematic documentation system. Management is not organized in features planning, performance review (or lack of), pay increased promises or handling client requests.
