Pros

-New Office -Soda Machine -Great place to slack off, since No one is held accountable for their continuous mistakes.

Cons

The most important thing to know about Clever Devices: -Hard work at this company does not pay off. It is said by many employees that the reason they do not give salary increases and promote from within is because management is afraid of allowing any one person to have too much knowledge and be noticed by upper management. -This was said by many employees who have been there for 6+ years. - Management refers to its employees as "Resources" - High turnover rate. Many employees start here and find something better within a years' time. - This company does NOT promote from within. - Lack of organization and poor communication from Project , Developer, QA and Product Management. - The scope / objectives of a project are never defined, which backfires when the customer repeatedly rejects the product. - You are asked to come in during the weekends and surf the web, because your manager wants his manager to see people "working" on the weekends. - The applications are written in 12 year old "Spaghetti" code (VB 6) - Management is more concerned with their business attire, opposed to the actual responsibilities they were hired for. Unless you are seriously desperate for a job, working here is a waste of time.

Pros

Friendly company personnel; growing company. They have a commitment to advancing the state of their art in a circumscribed way. They hired me to break free of those methods in some of their more difficult, expensive, third-party implementations.

Cons

Cramped work environment. Duplicitous management. Poor communication of goals and methods. Lack of budget freedom to implement what they required. I did exactly as asked and was laid off in a reduction-in-force immediately before I was to have a review. I was eating lunch one moment and out of work the next. I had no conversation with my immediate supervisor or with the VP of Engineering, who assigned the work. I was informed by the VP of HR, who handed me my package in a spare office while they disabled my computer account.
