A great team with a great mission - Senior Product Owner Sitka Technology Group Employee Review

Get to contribute to important projects, friendly & knowledgable coworkers, a good work-life balance is actively encouraged.

Working in a consulting environment means more exposure to project budgeting concerns, which can place added stress on developers to try and complete work within somewhat-rigid timeframes. At the same time, managers are usually willing to adjust project goalposts based on developer feedback and workload, so communication here is key.

Sitka has a great mission and track record of success helping big organizations manage and monitor environmental programs, ecosystems restoration projects, and data analysis. The company attracts and keeps talented people with a broad range of experiences in technology, software engineering, product development, systems design, and program management and monitoring. The company is small, but mighty and is emerging as a true leader in the market.

Big customers served by a small company are not always the best matches. Very long sales cycles, a market not accustomed to moving swiftly to solve problems, and navigating through the myriad frameworks of government or NGO funding and contracting for software/IT development can be challenging.
