Go with your gut! - Analyst IntegriChain Employee Review

Highly collaborative, great environment for career growth.

Remote work due to Covid did make cross collaboration more challenging.

Same thing you read in all of these reviews: there are some good, smart people here desperately trying to do good work in the face of insurmountable pressure to do otherwise. I'm not a business guy. I still handle my checkbook in a spiral notebook and I'm thinking about moving my retirement investments from guitar pedals to tulip bulbs, which I think are due for a comeback. All I know is software so while this isn't a particularly interesting organization if you want to solve interesting problems and feel good about the software engineering work you do day-to-day, it may very well be a great model of American business acumen.

Do you like metrics? Because make no mistake, your deliverable at IntegriChain will be metrics. You gots to get them Jiras all warm & fuzzy and you'll spend a lot of time filling out checklists or forgetting to fill out checklists and then finding out your ticket is somehow back in In Development because you forgot the checklist. You'll spend a lot of time hearing about the stuff you've done wrong in Jira as well. Standup? More like sit down & get a cuppa, because we're going to be here a while. Do you like timesheets? Because at IC you have four of them. Your timesheet, your time logging in Jira, your leave requests in a system that's NOT the same one as the timesheet and then a shared spreadsheet that you'll log that leave in. Do you like to not know what's going on? Maybe nobody's telling your manager things, maybe they're just telling you that. I don't know for sure and I'm not sure which is worse but that's what you get.
