Salary Review - Assistant Director SportsLabs Employee Review

Best work culture, wonderful people .

Too good to have any cons.

There are some pros to working here. The main one being that they work with a wide range of technology. You are given a high level of autonomy to explore new technologies and solve interesting problems.

The work is only good for someone who is a junior-mid level engineer. After a while it gets stale and you realize that you're just building websites for ill informed customers who aren't in it to make a profit. The data services team is also at times incompetent and unable to see future scalability problems. This forces you to circumvent what would otherwise be a fun API to work with. There is also an overall lack of vision for the company and you will often end up chasing one off solutions to make a quick buck. At times, I was forced to work with technologies that had been chosen for me by upper management that were not a suitable solution for the actual problem they were trying to solve. I also want to note that this company does drug test when they hire. This didn't affect me at all, but being in Colorado and the fact that it's 2016 it just seems ridiculous that they would enforce it.
