Pros

If you already smoke, you'll have lots of company. If you don't, give it some time here and you will.

Cons

High stress , low pay . The owner exploits new developers who are looking for their first job and pays them extremely low pay compared to the Austin average to do the same job. (Starting is as low as 20k)

It is always hard to respond to a negative review, but this review lacks all credibility. We have only a handful of 10+ year employees, and each earns a competitive salary. VersaSuite is a company where many SQL coders get their first job. They come to us with various levels of experience. Many are Fresh from SQL BootCamp with no practical experience. We offer a place to learn and grow. We do not have a single employee that earns $20,000 per year. Our salary structure is based on experience and tenure. Today our base is significantly higher than $20,000, and many coders see 2-4 raises in their first year of employment. The rapid increase in salary is a result of improved skill set as generated by our in-house training program. Come check it out for yourself. From beginner to Pro, we hire all levels of experience here at VersaSuite.

Great place to learn, grow and make a difference. If you are good, you will get noticed and rewarded.

No place to hide. Not a good place if you are only looking for a paycheck.

Pros

Working at VersaSuite has been a great learning experience. It is one of the few companies that I have applied to that offers a great opportunity to new Junior Developers to get experience working on enterprise-level projects. I love it here. With that being said, because it is a small team compared to a big corporation, it's hard to hide from not being productive. You need to be self-directed and solution-driven. So if you are going to apply, set your expectations accordingly. I have learned more on the job in the first few months than I did anywhere else. Your teammates are great, very supportive and understanding. They will help you along to grow and learn. But it's on you to put in the work. So if you are self-driven, dedicated, hard-working with love for learning, you will love it here too. P.S. About management: Because this is a smaller company, we report directly to the CTO. There is no bureaucracy here. So when decisions are made, they are made with you in the room. The meetings tend to be direct and straight to the point. Because at the end of the day, the company has to generate revenue. This can be intimidating to some, because you are so close to the fire, and you feel that your decisions and work directly influence the company's goal to bring the best value and service to their clients as possible.

Cons

A Small company compared to a big organization so you have to have the ability to wear many hats. It can be a con if your expectations are not set correctly.

VersaSuite is a place where you can learn your craft. Often we are the first place for many coders to come to work. On the job training while intense does build skills quickly. The working environment is fast-paced and you are right you can spread your wings if willing faster at VersaSuite then you can at other similar companies.
