Great learning experience - Recensione dipendente - Production & Engineering presso GlobalSpec

They are a very professional company to work for. When you walk into the company's building it is clean and professional looking. It makes me proud to work there. All departments work great together and the departments support the sales group in every way possible. The company's products work and therefore very easy to stand behind and sell. I would suggest to anyone to work for this company if possible.

Sitting at a desk all day is different to me and can be uncomfortable at times.

Globalspec cares a lot about employee happiness, and is results oriented. They have numerous company outings and events every year, paying employees to attend if they wish. They have a fairly laissez faire system, allowing employees to work at their own pace. Employee satisfaction is high, so I rarely hear of slackers. They allow extremely flexible hours. For part time employees, we have a minimum hours per week requirement, but those hours may be obtained from any hour of the day, any day of the week. During the summer, LEAN projects are developed and implemented. These projects take employees from various departments and has them developing processes that may speed up productivity somewhere in the company, then implements them (programmatically, or through a workflow change).

The programming work is not intellectually stimulating for very long. We Web Content Programmers were told we would be able to develop smaller in-house software and scripts to aid the rest of the company, but the opportunity to develop anything interesting is uncommon. Instead, we write scripts to screen-scrape from the internet, only very rarely taking the time to work on something interesting.
