Good Balance - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Schaefer Systems

I've had a great experience working at SSI. The company had a collaborative culture that makes you feel valued. Leadership was approachable, with opportunities for growth and learning. Work-life balance is respected, and benefits are competitive. The team is filled with passionate and talented individuals who are dedicated to delivering great results while also supporting each other.

Internal communication could be challenging sometimes with remote work.

Stable business model, lots of freedom to explore technology! It's a big place and not allot of people, you can have an impact.

Poor communication externally and internally. Lack of growth opportunities, likely due to off-shored development to countries with lower cost of living. Lean team size means If you can't fix a problem you can ask about one person before your completely screwed and have to wait hours for a solution from a random dev in a different timezone who may be unfamiliar with your building. Anytime we need the SIMPLEST code change it's a years long process. Instead of paying a dev to come to the site they want you to become an expert on what change they are making so devs from random countries can ask you what a conveyor or screen is doing. This process is painful, slow, unreliable, and expensive for the customer. You will have to learn for yourself. Only a handful of people know what's going on and they are too busy to answer questions or act as mentors.
