Time capsule of deplorables

Pros

Serene office setting with onsite gym and nature trails.

Cons

Racist comments go unchallenged. Referring to African-Americans by the "n" word should be fireable offense.

Seagull Scientific has never condoned or tolerated such abhorrent language in our workplace. Any incidents of racist, sexist or demeaning behavior of any kind must ALWAYS be reported immediately to our human resources director. Our founder and chairman says, “The goodwill of our employees and customers is our most valuable asset, so we treat everyone with the same dignity and respect we wish for ourselves.” This is part of our corporate DNA, and our workplace reflects these values.

Small company, seemed understaffed

Pros

Flexible start times for most employees, good benefits, if you have a good knowledge base for the position for which you are applying, you can succeed and probably grow over time

Cons

poor work/life balance from many employees, as it is a small software company you are going to be working from home a lot along with office hours. There may not be good mentoring resources as the staff on hand is already overloaded and may not have time to share experience. Many times you will just go it alone and try your best. Not an ideal way to gain confidence in your chosen field

We appreciate the efforts of all our employees — they have gone above and beyond during our dynamic growth as a company. We recognize that the extraordinary contributions of our teammates have made this progress possible. The well-being of our colleagues is important to us, and work / life balance is a big part of that, so, we’ve ramped up our hiring. While some teams may occasionally be understaffed, most are now at full capacity, and we continue to hire in anticipation of sustained global growth at our current unprecedented rate.

Great engineering retire home

Pros

If you are an software engineer and old enough to a point that your are no longer ambitious about your career then, this is a great place to work at. As long as you have some coding talent and keep your head down, do your assigned work, then you will be fine for the rest of your time there. Company finance is stable as well as its' business.

Cons

The company has been around for almost 30 years with very low and slow growth. The owner of the company is very distant from everyone else. He only work and listen to the appointed CEO. The CEO is typically out of touch with the business and everyone else. Having only a developer background, he lacks the experience and skill to grow the business he doesn't feel safe hiring people that trying to do so. The software development method is out of date and the product is very buggy which result in many customer complaints. The long time employees are very political and trying hard to block new people to contribute. The overall environment has low level of trust

Our company is experiencing unprecedented growth, thanks to the hard work of our teams — from development to sales and marketing — under the thoughtful direction of our global executive team. If you have concerns about the quality of our software, it’s important that you share those with your supervisor or our development team. Hundreds of thousands of companies across the globe trust BarTender with the labeling that drives their businesses. There is a lot at stake, and we care deeply about our work to make BarTender the easiest, highest quality and most reliable enterprise labeling software.
