2023 review. After nearly 1 year.
Pros
I am speaking for the software developer portion of the company as that is where my job is at. So other parts of the company I cant speak on in depth personally. Good team. The lead is a good boss. The team is a good team focused on work but has social events for those interested, meaning social events are not mandatory, you can just listen / lurk as well. Very accomodating of circumstances. Such as I had to travel half way across the world to visit the grave of a recently deceased grandparent and I got time off for it. Very helpful in teaching how things are done. Respectful and professional in how they deal with one another. Boss's boss is also a good person. Keeps people updated on situation of company. Such as building confidence in future work and companies future / current revenue streams. For now the company is doing well. Hope it lasts through upcoming recession. But if not it is understandable. I did look at previous glassdoor reviews before signing on to the company. There was a review for something about French superiority? At the very least I can guarantee that in the software jobs side of things there is no such thing. And I don't see any case of it company wide. Though I will say by the nature of the company most/all of the decision makers will be from France which is completely normal and understandable. Its a French company's subsidiary that has been around for a while. Ending of review Although I do get why glassdoor keeps reviews anonymous. The info i am giving is pretty easy to identify me with and hard to give without being specific. My name is muhammad salman. Also just being honest here: I dont like lying or hiding. If the company was bad then I would have not have made a review until I had left. Instead I would have tried to work negative issues out from within. Glad there are none to speak of. Motivation for making this review: I wanted to see salaries to see what next few years would be like. But glassdoor requires review or salary. So I chose review. Now that I think about it salary would've been the quicker of the two .... Whelp atleast I hope this helps someone out. Ah also if you like mail/postal industry you'll like this job.
Cons
Not really any cons. If any my job is a remote one so the general pros and cons of that for people who like or dont like remote. Not a con for me but for some others it could be? The product is a company specific one and there is a lot of custom python tooling surrounding it. So to be effective you have to learn those. So expect to be learning about it. It isnt a tool you could've learned before applying. Training procedure could be streamlined? Its good but that avg of new developers taking 6 months to be productive hits pretty true at the moment or perhaps it only feels that way from my perspective. Cons for myself as a reviewer. This is my first full time job in the industry. I have had a part time one before. This review is written in text so please be charitable in your interpretation of its tone. Tone is meant to be respectfully informing. Though there are a few asides of my realization.
