A waste of time; an extremely low, non market representative salary, and extremely unprofessional.
Pros
Was employed longer than most and left on my terms? Hours were not overly demanding. Commute was good. Grand Rapids is nice in the summer, if you can stomach the useless ultra conservative hipster zealots.
Cons
This place was just an insignificant stepping stone to a real established development company, where I made three times my Salespad salary. Honestly it gives developers a bad unrealistic expectation of salary; sure lets have the same education expectations as every other company but let's pay you one-third the salary. Brilliant business move Matt Williams, and Pete, keep that money! Just keep that cheap labor coming in and pushing em out. Do you want to run a real company or a frat house? Maybe that would explain why I felt like I was in a start up even after the company had been established for more than ten years. Think before you accept an offer. Look around the area to see what other companies are offering, you may be surprised how many cans of monster or soda an extra twenty to thirty thousand dollars in your salary can buy.
