Pros

Seems to be a good market for the Wintac Online products that we are trying to build. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

The engineers are putting in a lot of effort, but the results are not there. The technical leadership often provides inadequate oversight and processes to the engineers. As a result we are many months, many late delivering a usable product. The technical architecture is problematic. It is pretty frustrating that every new feature seems to require extensive rework of the architecture, causing more and more delays. There are some toxic personalities in the engineering group. There is a lot of contentiousness and missed commitments, followed by excuses and finger pointing. There seems to be a lot of turnover. It is hard to build a team when people are always leaving. This is supposedly an Agile Scrum environment, but more chaos than anything else. We have 10 minute daily standups, but estimating and tracking is pretty much non existent.

Pros

Great people who totally believe in the company and its mission. The sales and support teams are very motivated to take care of the customers. Flexible hours and easy commute location.

Cons

Some employees have been here too long. The technology used in some products is very old and difficult to support. Short staffed.

Pros

I have been working here for over 3 years and Wintac is the by far the best company I have worked for. The culture here is great. They really show employee appreciation whether it is through quarterly rewards, company outings and events which encourages interaction between all departments which is great. Management treats all employees fairly and with respect. All the managers are approachable at all times including the CEO. We have weekly sales meetings with the whole sales team, marketing team, management and CEO. I find these meetings very helpful since we always know what is going on, what lies ahead, and its a chance for an open discussion each week. The sales team can share what has been working and learn from each other, and converse with the marketing team. Our Marketing team is excellent and works hand in hand with the sales team. Company outlook and growth looks very promising as we have been growing each year and introducing new products into the market. You really feel like you are part of the team here, and not just a number.

Cons

Honestly, I have no cons to report. If you want to discuss anything with management or the CEO, their door is always open.
