Vantaggi

Good pay, and an interesting product.

Svantaggi

- there is no internal QA and most developers do not bother to write tests for their code, leading to a constant state of crisis and customer emergencies - many nights and weekends working to resolve said crises - no recognition for more competent engineers, in a perverse way you have more visibility if you code more slowly and your work has more bugs - employees are routinely laid off without warning or severance pay

Sorry to hear you had this experience. I realize this was written a long time ago, but what you state is completely inaccurate and bears no resemblance to SBDS today. No QA? Really? We have a highly automated and rigorous QA process, which includes individual unit tests at the developer level, up through multiple levels throughout the build process, culminating in an automated series of integration testing. No code is released without going through this very structured process. This discipline is the case for all types of release, including patches. And the results are obvious in our customer sites, where StrongLink is solving problems no other solution can do. Our developers work in a team environment, are highly skilled in a culture that encourages innovation and collaboration. Everything top to bottom is done within a Structured Agile Framework, with clear deliverables and process to avoid just the panic that you are suggesting. Which is why our software is deployed in some of the very largest data environments on earth, with scale-out capabilities that are unrivaled in our space.

Vantaggi

Great company. Very rewarding to work for a company that delivers a product that addresses a real-life customer data management challenge. Industry has needed something like this for years. Really enjoy working with my colleagues and management - true professionals and knowledge experts in their field with a passion for delivering value to the customer and helping them to find a solution to their challenges. Start-up mentality where people work well together as a team, as well as individually to contribute to the growth of the company and each other.

Svantaggi

Has typical challenges that you would expect with a company that is growing this quickly.

Vantaggi

Work remotely. Provides a work/life balance. Benefits were good.

Svantaggi

Newer management lacks necessary skills to motivate employees. stuck in old ways of doing things. Tries to lead by fear. No real room for advancement. CEO states employees can talk to him anytime, but when you try, you're told not to (by others within the company). So I would have to say chalk that up to lack of open communication. The top management does not give the impression it cares about it's employees or their needs. They would rather just use a dead way of creating leads and not focusing on what's going on in today's world and all the social media we have available to market ourselves. Creating a "call center" type of environment isn't effective, especially when we all work remotely.

Your role was sales, and I'm sorry you had a hard time getting traction. There is plenty of room for advancement as others have done, but part getting ahead in this sales role was to generate leads and new business. You were given lots more resources and repeated training. Sorry it didn't work out for you and that the results where not what either of us wanted.
