Vantaggi
I started working as a software developer at Futurex as soon as I graduated from college at UTSA and have worked at Futurex for the past two years. From day one I was able to jump right in and immediately start contributing, and this was exciting as a recent graduate. I started off at my own pace, getting to learn the technology and applications. Then I was able to start helping with maintenance of the products which allowed me to further learn the company's software and hardware. Then, after I became familiar with the products I was able to dive in and start adding enhancements and developing on new projects and features. I am given lots of freedom to contribute to products and projects as a software developer and do not ever feel like my skills are being hindered by the company. For me, Futurex provides a great environment to continually advance my knowledge and skill set as a developer. If you are someone who simply loves to code and loves solving complex problems, you will love Futurex. I am part of a tight-knit engineering team that works closely together to create new and exciting products on a daily basis.
Svantaggi
Futurex is not a place to work if you want to sit in a corner and go unnoticed. The software and hardware involved in the industry is inevitably fairly complex. For me, this environment is a coder's dream and allows me to shine, but for others I can see how this may be a con. I love coming to work every day and having the opportunity to have a direct impact on the hardware and software that I get to work with.
