CAPSHER Technology, Inc. Software Developer II reviews

Not great if you're staying for more than a few years. The expectation is that you'll move into a leadership role, but the skills of leadership VS the skills of a dev, which is what you're hired as, are very different, It's hard to break out of the lower level dev roles into the higher level ones, and they value hopping around from project to project over being high impact on one project. Pay isn't competitive at all (15-25% less than similiar jobs elsewhere), in fact, I've been asked if I was part time when I've told other developers what I make. Upper level management has a habit of patting women on the head. They treat the "Capsher culture" as a form of compensation, but I can't pay my mortgage with Capsher Culture. They revise the expectations and rubrics for job titles every year and don't have good tools to deal with employees that fall outside of the rubric. They will not give you salary info when asked, even if you're trying to see if it would be worth your effort to move up to another role.

The pay is not competitive once you get to about 5 years in as an developer II. Its too hard to advance your career. Its too slow. So your pay increases are not enough to keep up with the market. They hire nationally, but they pay locally (theres not enough comps locally for this, but that's never stopped them), so by 5 years, your value as a developer (what you can get elsewhere) far outways what you get paid. Pay is in no way tied to inflation or cost of living. No matter what anybody says. The company will never grow. So there will never be more middle and upper management spots available, you have to wait for someone to leave to get an opportunity to grow into a higher role. Learning opportunities ultimately dwindle because the tech stack is fairly static.
