Descartes Systems reviews

needs improvement on the product. competitors are catching up to what the company offers and there is little to no new development to keep ahead of the curve.

There is no room for growth at descartes. I have seen software engineers work there for almost 5 years and not grow within the company. Management doesn't care either or is doing anything to address this concern. Engineers are EXPECTED to be in the office. If it's snowing 13 inches in Westboro, we didnt have the ability to work from home. This is stupid on so many levels. Employees are underpaid compared to the Boston market. Expect to make $50,000 in your first role, which is highway robbery for a software engineer in Boston. They will claim "we can't pay people anymore". Management wants you to work ridiculous hours. I understand projects have to be complete, but be ready for no work life balance. The original people who built Oz Development have all LEFT. Management barely can get along let alone have a vision for a product. The employee benefits went down hill after the merger. The 401K is capped at a laughable amount, health insurance is subpar, and there is NO ROOM FOR CAREER ADVANCEMENT!! Sales is a complete pressure cooker environment with extremely high quotas that never get paid out on. And it will be your fault if you do not hit your number. Management will never take blame, or even try and help, but will keep reminding you that you will be fired if you do not hit quota. RUN FAR AWAY!!
