Descartes Systems reviews

Poor Management, No room for progression in company. Poor compensation. No incentive. Terrible atmosphere. Hostile work environment. Every day someone gets in an argument with someone else and work can't get done. Lazy management. One woman specifically. When brought to others attention she pulls out a sob story about her life and how its infinitely worse than everyone else. Shes kisses up to management to keep her job, and takes whatever aggression she has out on her team members and members of other teams. Work hours are not what are specified through interview, you will work 9-11 hour days, sometimes Saturdays. Huge back log of work, that never seems to be finished. If you somehow find the will to stay and try to move up for the company, your progress will most likely be impeded by people that want to keep you where you are. Beginning pay is incredibly low for a company in their industry. Work with incompetent clients. All in all, if you have any better options, take those instead.

- No raises at ALL. I was there for 3 years and never got a raise. Every time I asked about it, I got excuses. I met a developer that worked here for 7 years with no raises. So be aware of this - Unprofessional language used by team leads. Too much cursing for my preference. - No room to grow within the company. The leaders in key positions have been there for years, and won't go away any time soon - Directors like to raise their voice when they talk to you. I complained, and that was not smart.
