Pros
Overview: I’ve been at Computer Courage 9 years. I've never worked at a place where my impact has made such a difference to the end product. I enjoy the clients I work with, the other team members, and my own responsibilities. There are benefits including retirement plan (with company contribution) and healthcare. Technical/Process: When I started I was able to help craft the core website product which is still offered today. As a medium sized company (~20) it’s awesome to be able to enhance processes and continue to integrate new technologies. My supervisor is always willing to listen to new ideas and see how we can fold them into our workflows. Over the years I’ve been able to take on many hats which has allowed me to grow my abilities and learn new skills, then use those to increase capabilities of clients’ sites and the Web Department. The Computer Courage mission isn’t one focused on using the cutting edge latest technologies, but rather the most effective solutions for the customer’s needs. Staff & Culture: This is my number one item. Everyone at Computer Courage is a team player and always willing to help, ranging from the PMs and Devs I work with day to day to staff I rarely talk to in the IT Dept. Everyone is willing to help and I’ve never felt hostility from any of my team members. We do occasional happy hours, lunches, and events as well which are always fun.
Cons
At times I’ve struggled with being overloaded, but it’s always been handled in a reasonable way. Whether the solution is shifting responsibilities, or hiring a new team member I’ve never felt frowned upon for not completing every task when this happens.
