They treat fulltimers great; company's tech is absolutely horrid and run mostly by cheap offshore Indian labor

Software engineer

CEO approval

Pros

They generally treat employees well. 4-5 stars for the people I work with and how fulltime employees are treated. 1 star for the truly abhorrent decision making with tech stuff.

Cons

Really bad middle management. They offshore developer work while fulltimers dont have enough work. They pay software developers in India $10/hr and wonder why the company's software is garbage. Farmers is still stuck in the 2000's and thinks that cheap software from India is better than paying more local developers a market wage.

The worst management team in entire my career...

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing I can think of!

Cons

1. Incompetent managers and directors. Lack of understanding of basic management skills, technical skills, basic processes, etc. which is not even remotely appropriate for someone at their managerial position. 2. Micromanagements. 3. Lack of recognition, appreciation and motivation skills. They encourage over communication and false padding on the back, instead of focusing on real challenges and real achievements. 4. Not a healthy and enjoyable environment to work in. 5. Very bad and expensive health benefits. 6. Surprisingly they don't even provide free coffee for employees. 7. Too much politics.
