      Pros

      Absolutely none. Avoid this place like the plague

      Cons

      When I was offered a job here, I thought I'd give it a chance despite these reviews..... oh how wrong I was. Before I started working here, the the rest of the devs planned the project for 1 full year before actually started to write any code, so they understood all the ins and outs. They somehow expected me to understand all this in a few months which I thought was a bit optimistic in their thinking. They insisted I complete some extremely un-engaging video courses on such topics, which was like watching paint dry. Additionally, a certain individual I worked with would seem to start to loose their temper if I did not understand something right away. This made me feel like I was just simply a bad software developer. Fast forward a few months, I'm at a new organisation completing practical tasks at a high standard, and the team really appreciate me. All in all everyone seemed stressed and miserable with rushed unrealistic deadlines and it really seemed like everyone hated their life at this place. The office was also old and dingy and very uninspiring. AVOID

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule. Some work is remote so you don’t have to deal with the Operationally Focused Process and Improvement Implementer face to face.

      Cons

      For the Carpenteria Office; There is no HR department in the US. HR is in the UK. This is is huge problem. Consistent bullying and harassment. Managers and most employees left spend more time trying to make it look like others aren’t doing their job, than they spend actually doing their job. Lack of any processes or consistency with work flow. Clear segregation between management and other employees. The former COO ran the company into the ground all for self benefit and the Operationally Focused Process and Improvement Implementer (that job title couldn’t be farther from the truth) significantly aided in that. This is the most dysfunctional company I’ve ever worked for. Half of this business unit has quit, I don’t see them sustaining a US business for much longer. All other reviews from former employees are accurate.
