Pros

Since Conest was acquired and the former management left, the work atmosphere has been SO much better! The old reviews on here have been from people who worked for the company with the old management/owners, and the comments were well deserved. We have gone through a few transitions and now have a great management team in place which correctly reflects our company vision, values and ethics. I think the important thing to remember is that many of the employees that now work at Conest have been with the company for over 10+ years, and some who left under the old regime have now returned. We have always known that we have a great product, but we did not have the proper vision or skillset in upper management to move things forward. That is now in place, and we can finally let the past remain in the past. There are still some battle scars from the previous owners for those who experienced it, but those memories are stories we can laugh about now as we start to re-build our team and continue to develop our product line. Although many employees are now working remote, we do have a new office with enough space should someone choose an in-person work environment part or full time. We also have online meetings to ensure a connection continues for employees who are full time remote. Pre-covid, we would have an annual in person December Holiday gathering, and had recently started another in the warmer weather months. For those that are on the fence because of past reviews, just know that we have changed what needed to be changed, and are the same company with a great product, just better leadership and vision to move us to the next level.

Pros

Things have greatly improved over the last few years. We were working from home before covid-19 so we were ready for it. We have the choice of work from home or coming into the office any day or days we want. There are good benefits with company matching 401k contributions. There's a focus on making sure the employees are happy. There is a real team atmosphere where everyone pitches in to resolve issues.

Kontras

I can't really think of any at this time.

Pros

Their electrical estimating software is the best in the industry. It is a Windows desktop product and a bit dated, however; I don't know if they've yet created a web or mobile version. Location is good if you live in the Greater Manchester area. Quiet working environment. On the tech side of the house, management tells you what needs to be done and then pretty much lets you figure it out and work on it as you see fit. Good opportunities to teach yourself new technologies as you go along.

Kontras

All of the weirdness shared by other reviewers is absolutely true and accurate. If anything, they understate the awful working environment. It feels like a strange combination of prison camp and kindergarten. If you're thick-skinned and just want to keep your head down and work hard and do whatever your told, you can survive okay. But if you seek affirmation and approval for your work from your manager, and/or want your input and ideas considered, this would not be a good place for you. I've literally seen people (women and men) reduced to tears. The pay and benefits are average. Owners keep the place dimly lit (maybe to save money on electricity?). They don't like people using cellphones and frown on employees chatting with others in the office. One of the owners appears to suffer from numerous antisocial neuroses. Underlying their flagship product is a seemingly endless stream of MS SQL Server stored procedures. I think at some point the product was redesigned by an employee whose strengths were as a DBA, so he did things with stored procs that really should have been done in the .Net code.

ConEst Software has been acquired by JDM Technology Group as of March 1, 2017 and is under new management and ownership. We are undergoing many changes since the acquisition and will continue to develop and grow with the goal of making ConEst Software the leader in the electrical estimation industry and a respected NH based employer. We value your feedback and want to ensure that everyone feels comfortable that we have taken your thoughts into consideration.
