Almost as Bad as a Sourcing Contract - Applications Developer Call Box Employee Review

CEO makes all major IT decisions. Including what languages the team uses. CEO also uses whatever backdoors he can find to push database and code changes. Some of the most important parts of agile development are glossed over(such as scoping task length to the individual). No senior developers. No testing. Constantly finding a way to fight QA. Documentation is a quite poor, and noone is around anymore to share tribal knowledge. Management ignores your attempts to"urgently pursue growth" if it doesn't fight their current fire. Over 7 months straight of Breakfix/Ticket work. The main language is the incredibly obscure Adobe ColdFusion. On an old version. At a SaaS company. The developer churn is unreal. As of this post there is 1 developer that has been there longer than a year. The pay (45k/yr starting) is worse than a sourcing agency. And you don't get to do any major development for 6-8 months and you have to train yourself. The CEO believes breakfix doesn't generate any value. Which you will do for a long time. The product is incredibly broken most of the time in some capacity. Hilarious lack of diversity in the company outside of Hackerfarm (dev+IT). You are scheduled for 9.5-10 hour days, but get vacation for 8. And the vacation policy is horrific. You will get burnt out. Private company that is owned by an incredibly wealthy business, wants to operate with as little overhead as possible and have a small team. Lays off 60% of its staff.
