Pros

- The people are great, despite the culture feeling really toxic at times - DeLorme's mission / product is really cool, despite being mismanaged / guided - The company attempts to use agile development practices ( which is better then not using agile I guess )

Cons

- outdated technology / stack - at the time, the company was perpetually "strapped for cash" - the culture is toxic, upper management and leadership seem to be living in their own DeLusions. I heard some really amazing / creative ideas from co-workers on how to improve things but management never seemed to listen or care

Pros

DeLorme is a pretty good place to work at. The managers are very nice and understanding. It is a small company so the quality of one on one interaction is high. If you have a problem with your computer the support team is there in a flash. There are bonuses. And people respect one another. I enjoyed all of the people I worked with. I would highly suggest working for this company.

Cons

Location, Location, Location. Not being in Portland is a big downside and with the price of gas now its a killer. I mean Portland is only 20 minutes away; on a good day. Moving closer to Portland would be a great move for the company. Also the salary is a problem. While I do understand you are living in Maine and the price of living is not as high, you could afford to pay your employees more. $23,000 a year is not very good. And while that was in sales I am sure that the salary must go up for people programming the software.
