Hardly a sinking ship - much the opposite in my opinion - Programmer/Analyst Geographic Solutions Employee Review

Pros

I just came across this site and I must say that I am stunned and embarrassed by the insulting comments some of my current co-workers have posted about GeoSol. I have been here for long enough to know that this is the best place I have ever worked. I have already made several friends here at work and I do value my job and the pay is fair for the experience I have in programming and I do like the various benefits that are offered, like PTO and casual dress and different events that are held (lunches, parties) We do have alot of projects ongoing and some late hours that come with being a programmer, but for someone to say this is a sinking ship is just not right and it actually demeans the hard work that me and my teammates and other departments do each day. I am glad that we have alot of work to do here, because my last company went belly-up due to the economy and i don't want to re-live that feeling again. The comments about getting your email looked at? Maybe this wouldn't happen if these gripers actually worked all day instead of standing around in the parking lot and gossiping and putting the company down all the time. No one from management or HR has ever said anything to me about that kind of stuff. I really enjoy my teammates and most everyone is understanding that we have rough patches but the owner is fair and approachable and has been doing things to improve the morale.

Cons

We have alot of different versions of the software and we need to get some better handle on how the processes evolve to clean up our development. There are times when we find out right before we are supposed to leave that we have to stay and do extra work, which hopefully won't happen as much in the future if the processes get fixed.

Pros

Pays on time! Staffed with many excellent, competent, knowledgeable people who are capable of juggling the multiple client workload (with enough time, proper management and support) and willing to share their knowledge. Excellent product. Engaging work when allowed to be a _. The home grown Online Project Communication system when used fully. Paul is always seeking opportunities to grow his company and portfolio. Paul Toomey.

Cons

Poor to no documented process. No to poor process review. Status quo approach and mentality is pervasive. No empowerment. No risk management strategy, problems are documented as risks. Too much early focus on customization and too little "off the shelf" leads to failure to deliver on time. Little support. Little willingness to change. More of a don't think, do as you are told than a practice your craft environment. Cliquey environment, where bullying by some tenured people is tolerated. Communication is not effectively managed across platforms. Projects are sold based on the dream (off the shelf) implementation and not on the reality (we don't have the resources and/or plan to get it intricately customized in the time promised). Not enough time for stretched stressed staff to get all the customization work done in the time promised Diversity and inclusion amounts to email reminders of whose birthday month it is and no training.
