Lure of new technology not enough to overcome ad-hoc management - Anonymous employee nsquared Employee Review

Get to work with new technology, sometimes not yet released. Small team means that its easy to communicate with other staff members. Can be a lot of freedom to implement a new tool into the company. Get to learn a wide variety of skills in different aspects of the company. Freedom to work part time. (Good those who want to study and work)

Lack of senior staff members mean less experience to call upon. A lot of self learning and a lot of trial and error. Jack of all trades company means a lot of small products, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot because you spend a lot of time trying to understand a whole application just to fix one issue. Lack of planning in some areas means a lot of time is spent redoing things or creating things that aren't even used. Management encourages staff to work beyond normal work hours.

- There's often new and exciting technology to work on. - Due to the size of the company there's opportunity for more responsibility than what you would normally have at bigger companies. This is good experience. - The boss's partner is nice.

- The pay is always extremely low. If you apply for work here, I would only apply for the experience and then move on later. - The boss always blames the employees for not meeting his unrealistic expectations. - There's never any praise or encouragement. - There's an expectation that you work overtime for no pay. - The boss has been verbally abusive to other employees (Never to myself though)
