This is not even a company, just s workshop - Software Developer Dynamic Leap Employee Review

The CEO actually cares deeply about the employees. But it’s an agency, so you’re only ever as good as your last and next project. I know who wrote the previous negative review, and they were so full of themselves as a developer that they couldn’t even recognize their own weaknesses. They were single-handedly responsible for a number of projects failing. It was a good place to work. The people cared. But you need to understand what it takes to work for an agency. Not everyone did.

I agree that management could have paid more attention to the opinions of us developers. We provided accurate estimates, only to have them cut in half in order to try and win the contract. I don’t know if that has more to do with management or the fact that digital services is a really tough industry these days with so many cheaper options provided by off-shore companies. It was a fun place to work, but ultimately it didn’t have the right combination of rockstar sales, leadership from the top, and enough developers who could get their work done in a reasonable amount of time. And that last part is key. DLT had some good developers, but many of them were really slow. And that kills you as an agency. And the rest of us had to pick up the slack.

I was impressed with the caliber and friendliness of the development staff. The other devs were a hilarious bunch and the QA person is an absolute gem. The PM at the time was great at defusing politics and standing up to senior management's worst impulses.

Senior devs pushed to improve process and tooling only to be shut down. Clients were given laughable delivery dates to get payments out of them. Inexperienced people with no technical background were given software project management duties and set up for failure. Experienced people would come in, get a look at how things were, and just leave. They hire new immigrants and pay them offensively low wages. At the low end your pay is based on how vulnerable the CEO thinks you are and at the high end it's all about how well you sell yourself. A lot of the people who made the place special have moved on now, mostly because they couldn't stand the non-developer that management put in charge of development or were let go due to "financial difficulties".
