Very Unorganized

Pros

It is fairly casual, in dress and work hours. Choose the shift you want to work and keep those hours. Time off is 18 day per year that includes sick and vacation.

Cons

This place is VERY unorganized. It changes direction constantly. Don't expect a raise your not going to see it. I didn't get a review for a year and a half. They tell you 90 days but I have never seen anyone get a review with an increase in 90 days. Moving to another department is rare and will take at least 2 months to find out if you got the job.

DrFirst is the kind of place that gives all employees the opportunity to grow, transform, and innovate. Those who are willing to invest into the company find that there are limitless ways to contribute and feel empowered to make an impact. Having a positive attitude and a desire to identify solutions is a core part of being successful here. Our culture emphasizes the desire to be better today than yesterday, and turn over the rocks to examine areas we can improve. We also believe that innovation requires us to be flexible and able to maneuver quickly. Most of our staff enjoy being challenged each day to stretch to their full potential. If you have some specific input, we welcome the opportunity to chat about it. Please feel free at any time to talk to our HR team, or the head of Corp Comm. We certainly believe that perception is reality, so we hope to find a way to help you connect with our culture.

Pros

Employees are asked to write a positive review, sometimes even in exchange for T-shirt or gift card, that is how DrFirst keeps their rating up.

Cons

Don't waste your time on this company or take the job and keep on searching for something better.

Pros

Being on a small development team, you end up learning almost every job role in the web application realm - so it's a good learning experience. Most of the technical team is incredibly helpful and supportive which made the work environment a little more pleasant.

Cons

Long work hours, unreasonable expectations and ever-changing requirements make work as a developer difficult. Lack of real leadership and consistent changes in functional managerial roles make the development process incredibly slow. SDLC best practices not practiced.
