Hampered by management's lack of adaptability - Software Engineer StoneRiver Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are second to none, and the company is very flexible about vacation time and is willing to work around your responsibilities. Most of the people are competent and easy to work with, and HR does an excellent job of communicating information and problem solving. The senior executive team sounds like they know what they're doing and how to run an organization.

Cons

Management (especially middle and upper-middle) has problems embracing emerging or current technologies, at least in my experience, and the sales team seems to be nonexistent, especially for some of the older products. Salaries are only OK compared to industry averages (with employees hoping to get any raise at all per year), and there's virtually no way to move around in the organization.

Pros

Pay is pretty good and the people are good to work with. In my particular case I can work from home a lot, but they aren't allowing that as much any more. The technology is ok to work with for the most part.

Cons

Large enterprise issues like complete hard drive encryption that slows the machines substantially. Work isn't too challenging and there isn't a lot of room for creativity. No Macs allowed. The management talks of Best in Class software, but it isn't supported from top to bottom. E.g., we must use IBM Rational Functional Tester even though developers and QA all dislike it. We have to use ClearCase even though nobody likes it. We say we want best in class, but look to develop mobile solutions that are lowest common denominator-driven for ease of cross platform development (iOS & Android). There isn't a EVP of Product Design, which I believe is required if you want best in class products.
