Clever Devices reviews

- WAY too hard of a focus on moving forward when legacy code is holding various parts of the company back - Constant states of panic about a bug or customer requirement, making employees begin to address said problem, then suddenly everyone above the developer paygrade stops caring and it becomes a non-blocking issue that is filed away as something to resolve in the future - Technology stack is all over the place - i.e., just for C# alone, there's a WinForms application kept "modern" by bolting web pages to it via CEFSharp, and those web pages are a hodge-podge of various frontend frameworks - There's a Confluence present, but an incredibly minuscule percentage of its pages are kept up to date and relevant to internal user's needs; this has created a company of people all holding onto information in their heads and in personal OneNote documents - No hope of career advancement unless you start taking work home with you (will be flatly denied by a HR representative of course, but it's definitely an unspoken requirement for going """above and beyond""") - No visible incentives outside of spot bonuses for support personnel, not even cost of living increases - When there were options for the company investing in your learning, the options were either restrictive or useless for developers

A lot of what management preaches is lip service, not genuine. Departments are very siloed, they claim to want to foster a collaborative environment, but there is a lot of finger pointing and assigning blame. Not healthy.
