Smaller Company - Software Developer bei Shaw Systems Associates: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Great collaborative environment with a relaxed work culture. There's ample opportunity to be involved in large projects that affect company success.

Corporate structure can lead to delays and red-tape. To be expected in a corporate environment.

Remote work as of 2020 Development staff generally competent and good to work with.

Development is guided by a management team that has little to no technical experience and is unwilling to listen to the senior development staff to improve their products. They spent many years with the customer facing, non-technical senior management directing development and neglecting tech debt, architecture, and actual code design to create a muddled mess of code that is allegedly Java but ignores basics of inheritance and OOD. They are unwilling to put the resources to fix the problems they have and unwilling to adopt new technologies to allow for a gradual improvement of the design and underlying technological stack. Their reasoning almost always is driven by the fact that such continuous improvement doesn't make money right now, which implies that their long term financial future is insecure.
