First, thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Flatirons Jouve has made a concerted effort in recent months to put our employees first with the knowledge that this will ultimately translate into the best possible service to our customers. It’s gratifying to hear that this had made a positive impact on your experience as a team member. Regarding M&A, it has indeed been a mixed blessing – rapid growth, but a lot of change across multiple dimensions of our business, some of which was disruptive. As a result, we are focusing as an organization on organic growth in the foreseeable future, building on the foundation we have built as a team. We appreciate your insights, and hope your experience continues to be a productive and enjoyable one!

XML is King

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Knowledge of XML and document management will take you far at Flatirons. It's my opinion this is a Pro: Project technologies are usually mature, not nascent. Like Java, Git, Maven, and the XML stack. Working in the office is default and freedom exists to work from home at will.

Cons

We inherit the issues of the customer, as is the nature of consulting. If customers had no issues we'd have no work. Timeline constraints vary and have to take the bad with the good. Development career track ends at Senior Developer. Other titles cost some % of time with managerial work, from what it seems.

Thank you for taking the time to write. You do a good job of describing both the challenges and opportunities of working with complex content like XML and the technologies that manage it – it’s tricky business, and that’s why it’s valuable to our customers and partners. This kind of work can bring both great satisfaction and great frustration, sometimes both at once. You mention upward mobility beyond Senior Developer, and that too is a mixed blessing for some. Becoming a leader is an option we try to offer to all of our high-performing staff, since we value promoting from within. But leading teams often means taking a step away from the hands-on interaction with technology, so it’s a trade-off that some deeply technical people don’t want to make. We invite you to talk with your manager about your career goals and aspirations. We retain good people by giving them a long-term path forward, and we want to make sure you have such a path. We wish you the best, and appreciate your taking the time to share your insights!

Management Contradictory

Pros

Company is flexible in working hours

Cons

Management sends contradictory messages. They cant decide to focus on quality or schedules. They have been caught in lies on employment standards, dress codes. Site focals do not back the workers and have unreasonable schedules for amount/scope of work.
