Pluspunten

They can pay you well. For now.

Minpunten

That line, "Data integrity is NOT optional" is plastered on their job-ads, and on at least one wall within their offices. It sounds nice, along with a lot of other things that sound nice. And the reality is quite different. For a product that is well over 10 years old, it still suffers from the "duplicates" problem. Duplicate inventory, orders, products, you get the idea. That's the price for using AUTO INCREMENT. Split-brain, because they've decided to manage 500+ individual database-clusters, instead of opting for a much saner multi-tenant strategy. Expect a lot of unnecessary project complexity. High turnover has created an amnesiac organizational memory. Your job is to keep the machine running for the next quarter. My experience with Dan McCarty was extremely hostile. The moment I mentioned taking more advantage of SQL, I knew it was over. You can probably succeed here if a) you're new, and you don't have the experience to recognize a dumpster fire when you see one, b) you've seen your fair share of dumpster fires, and don't mind them. Everyone else with a modicum of self-respect, move along.

Pluspunten

My experience thus far at CrystalCommerce has been quite rewarding. I've found that if you work hard and show initiative, the company will reward you and invest in your future. The atmosphere is not like your typical office job, so if you are used to a more strict and structured environment this may not be for you. The company is quite young and the coworkers are all very pleasant to be around. Everybody seems to get along well and things like company lunches, game nights and Holiday parties help foster the positive relationships with each other. The pay at the company is fair and the benefits are getting better all the time. There is a lot of work to do still, but Dan has never had any issue investing in employees, whether it be buying lunches, cool gadgets, gifts during the Holidays, or gift cards. All in all, for somebody just starting their career this is a great opportunity to learn some new skills and help out small businesses in the game and hobby industry.

Minpunten

There is some disorganization within the company and a lot of work needs to be done to add structure and discipline. This isn't abnormal for a company so young. There needs to be more focus. Lots of things going on at once and it can lead to some getting a little disorganized and frustrated.
