Vantaggi

Sidebench has an impressive sales team which has the ability to land projects that they are 0% qualified for (no prior PM experience in the industry, no in-house development team, etc.). Their ability to dupe clients into believing that they're a premier VR, healthcare, and web/mobile application development team is unrivaled. But, hey, they do it with a smile on their face.

Svantaggi

- A vast majority of projects are delivered late and/or broken. Sidebench uses these first broken products as opportunities to upsell a "Version 2"...which wouldn't be necessary if V1 is done properly in the first place. - Sidebench produces products which are 95% white labeled. Those big brands that appear on their website? Yeah...chances are their products weren't developed by Sidebench. - They seek out clients with deep pockets, outsource to (often incompetent) remote freelancers, and do little but act as the "man in the middle." You'd be better off hiring a competent freelancer or contractor directly. - Until recently, they had no in-house developers. As of this review, they now have one iOS developer.

Thank you for your response and for your compliments about our sales team. We’re sorry that you have such a negative impression of our capabilities, deliverables, and ethics. However, we believe you may be misinformed. First and foremost, we are wholly transparent with our clients and employees about our development process. We have in-house technical architects and skilled project managers that work with our development partners who are sourced from all over the world. Contrary to you labeling them as freelance developers, they’re actually our partners who we’ve been working with for quite some time. Concerning your comments around Sidebench “conning” our employees and clients, that is simply not true. Our employees enjoy plenty of opportunities to grow in a small, agile work environment. And, again, we’re wholly transparent with our clients about our development process, including their deliverables. Often times, with our small startup partners, we’re only contracted to deliver the first version and can only deliver a product that aligns with their budget. Ideally, we’d like to be long-term partners with each client and create newer and better versions of all of our projects. Thank you for leaving your concerns on our page, but, again, we believe you’re misinformed. We encourage you to reach out to us directly so that we can give you a full overview of our processes and address your concerns more completely. Thank you!

Vantaggi

Leadership team is ethical and cares about what they are doing. They also hire quality folks

Svantaggi

They are kinda ramping down in volume, so not as much opportunity to work with them as before.

Vantaggi

The people are some of the brightest and the most humble coworkers I’ve ever had in my life. Leadership cares so much and I couldn’t imagine my life without the friendships I have made at this company. The work is rewarding in a challenging way. Clients are great and the products are so interesting.

Svantaggi

I would say try your hardest to keep the company feeling small and close. Protecting the great community you have built is going to be hard work but it will be your greatest asset as you continue to grow.
