Pros

Location is nice, easy parking

Cons

Zero training of staff, everyone is a maverick working in a cubical farm. No standards for developers to adhere to. Old RPG programmers are now high paid business analyst with no understanding of current technologies. One client was quoted a customer ecommerce site for over $12,000 when a shopify store would have been the best option. Option was not allowed to be suggested as it would not get any money for Hammer. Good people leave the company after a short stint, others have been there for 20 years because no one would hire them anywhere else.

Pros

Management let's you get the job done without micromanaging. Most of the company is remote but there's an office available in PA if you want that as an option. Everyone is nice here, there are no jerks.

Cons

Growing and working on building out processes for managing projects, it can sometimes be unstructured.

Pros

In an unstable market with mass layoffs and gross mismanagement by execs, John Weidenhammer continues to lead the company he founded in 1978 with integrity, wisdom, and what some might say "old school" values and work ethic. Hammer's business-to-human approach is validated every day by unsolicited client thanks and testimonials, and proven by the unusually long tenure of both our clients and employees.

Cons

'Old school' can result in legacy paradigms, tools, and operations that are being addressed and improved on. Stability from being fiscally conservative means you will be fairly but never over paid as is the case with many tech companies throwing money at problems and then laying off its people when they persist. While a positive, the long tenure of employees can also lead to bias and 'always done that way' mindsets with limited external context of advances being made outside of the company. This requires change, and people are inherently change averse.
