Seemed fine at first... But has gone downwards since last year. Lots of people quit. - Recensione dipendente - IT Resource presso ShopLocal

Since the time Shoplocal lost some big clients, a lot of pressure is put on the Sales team to generate revenue. Client Services Directors (BA) bring in poor requirements to the developers. The IT team follows agile with 9 day sprint, but it is not enough time to work on something that is not well defined. People are very burnt out, the same complaints are mentioned in the retrospection meetings. 6 developers, 3 QA, 2 designers and several CSD and several senior management, who have been with the company for 12 years, have left the company within past 3 years. There is no way to grow here. Management/ pmo/ tech leads are indifferent about making people work long hours. There is favoritism and only certain people get recognized and made to grow. The environment is stressful to work in most departments Compensation is not great for the amount of labor pushed on people. Certain project managers are not experienced and annoying to work with. The company is moving all the .NET code to Python. It is disappointing when one is hired to code in .NET and will be made to code in totally different language.
