Closed - werkgeversreview Computer Programmer bij {SAW} Software Mill

I love my coworkers and bosses! The atmosphere is relaxed. You'll want to be productive because you will enjoy it! I love the location as well, so much to do -- a YMCA, restaurants, bars, trail, movie theater...

Our work is pretty intimidating for the first week or so, but after that the intimidation clears.

Coworkers work hard with knowledge transfer. Agile work environment. Free sodas. Occasionally free lunch during "optional" company updates. Pressure makes it feel mandatory to attend. Located in a nice area with different food choices and movie theatre.

Direction is horrible. Management pushes tasks out to prevent failure of a sprint then sneak major development to happen by a team lead during a non-development Sprint. The following Sprint then gets changed to implement and unit test the functionality. This isn't the first time this activity happens. It seems to be a regular basis. Benefits are barley nominal. The CEO constantly threatens subordinates on firing everyone if sprints are not completed on time. Which goes back to management hiding tasks. The other issue is failed promises after failed promises. CEO constantly says salaries will be reviewed then keeps putting meetings and salaries off. Don't fall for this trap when being starting out. Google the company and you may see articles showing the software working in. It's not a language you will take anywhere else in your career. I'd be surprised if this company makes it to this time next year at this rate. I predict most of the developers will continue to leave as promises continue to be broken.
