Pros

free sodas two monitors. that's about it. some other people will say that you get to wear shorts and flops but to me that just highlights that this environment is not very professional. they will take just about anybody because it's a revolving door.

Cons

you go to meetings where you are told that you have a great job. you are working on an assembly line. All creativity and thinking is not needed, just get back to your desk and keep fixing the same errors over and over again because your code will be overwritten by someone who fixed something else and didn't bother merging correctly. do you like a work-life balance? forget it. if you don't work 60 hours a week and then go home and work at night, you might as well have committed treason.

Pros

You will always be challenged to produce the best of what you have. Their is no room for complacency, which is awesome because when you become complacent, you get bored and lose skills. Geographic Solutions is a fun company to work for and has a great group of developers to work with.

Cons

The deadline is when? No Problem :)

It's great to hear the positives. You're right, as we respond to customers needs, our deadlines tend to be pretty tight. We have shifted resources to make that happen when we need to and when we can. Thanks for taking the time to provide the feedback!

Pros

I have been working at Geographic Solutions for almost 7 years. I like working here because they gave me the opportunity to grow and be my best. I feel like my opinion is respected by both my peers and senior management. My encounters with the owner have been very positive - you can tell when you talk to him how much he cares about the company and the business we are in -- providing the best tools for people to find jobs. And he cares about the employees - from little things like having dual monitors to big things like free healthcare (and kicking in $50 a month if you have an HSA). Some of the reviewers said that the owner doesn't care about employees but I see and hear otherwise - I have seen him help employees out - he just doesn't advertise it to the entire company. I read some of these reviews and they sounded like scorned boyfriends/girlfriends. It saddens me that they didn't have the experience I do but perhaps some of it has to do with having a positive attitude.

Cons

The only con I can really think of is that you "only" get 2 telework days a month. Sometimes I wish it were more but the reality is that we frequently need to collaborate on projects and that is alot easier in person so I have ended up with quite a few telework days in the bank (they carry over if you don't use them).
