Pros

Sr. people are paid well. Lots of freedom.

Cons

Computer Aid has no clue how to collect software specifications from customers. Requirements are ill-defined, if they are defined at all. Developers are blamed for implementing features incorrectly, even when the features are not defined. Sr. Developers are expected to act as first-level tech support. No 401k match. Everything is legacy code (seriously, some things haven't been updated since .NET 1.1). New developers are unleashed on the code with no direction, resulting in inconsistent code style, and duplicate code scattered everywhere. Once you are assigned to a project, your chances of ever moving to another project are slim to none.

Like the technology field itself, CAI is constantly evolving and is working hard to expand the solutions we offer clients. This year we have invested in building a team of experts to help companies select and implement intelligent automation. Our agile and cloud practice area also is giving employees new ways to contribute their expertise. We aim to create a community in which collaborative peer-to-peer relationships and autonomous teams can develop and grow in a way that builds trust and innovative thinking. We pay close attention to the market and work to give our employees opportunities to deepen their skills and grow in their fields, so they benefit both personally and professionally.

Pros

Horrible company to work for - treat you like an indentured servant or worse. Benefits are minimal but work is steady.

Cons

You need to be Republican, white, male and Christian to be part of the special crowd.

Pros

Having flash backs to the 1990's where companies thought being Jack of all trades but master of none was the way to sell!!!!

Cons

The Short List developed over 5+ years- No one can answer the potential clients question of what can you do great and prove to me that you did it. Executive Management does not understand what our client's and the market's challenges are and building solutions to solve them. They would rather have quarterly corporate meetings to showcase their ideas of what is needed without speaking with the current customers and future clients. Senior Management do not know how to lead nor are skilled in developing internal talent that they hired. Every group is an island and they do not play nice in the sand box. Executive and Senior management need to actually go to a client meeting: 1) Get a grasp of what the client's challenges are 2) Understand how our competitors are solving these issues to win the business 3) Understand how selling to the market and how the market wants to be sold to 4) Develop a quick, easy tool for team members to reference to understand past performance of core service offerings
