Pros

Friendships with coworkers that are also sad

Cons

Most company’s mission statements are a joke but Netsmart’s is truly comical once you’ve spent any time in the organization. Employees are treated and paid poorly unless you’re chugging the Kool-Aid or deemed a Chosen One. I genuinely felt bad for the customers. Sales doesn’t know what they’re selling (not necessarily their fault, the software is not impressive to begin with and most of the original architects and engineers are gone or actively planning their escape) but management doesn’t care because once a customer signs the paperwork Netsmart knows they have them on the hook for endle$$ exten$ion$ and/or customization$. Cross-org collaboration doesn’t exist. Consulting doesn’t have the bodies to keep up with what’s being sold. Utilization is 36 hours/week. Requirements for utilization bonuses change every quarter so they effectively never exist. EOY or quarterly bonuses don’t exist until you’re upper management. PTO got switched to unlimited during COVID ~strictly~ to improve employees’ mental health, it definitely had nothing to do with having to pay seasoned people out when they left or to scare new people from taking PTO to begin with.

Because Zero Stars Isn't An Option

Pros

The actual people I work with are great.

Cons

There are virtually no resources to get you up to speed on the products you're supposed to be working on in the first place. You can find an expert on the product, only to realize that they barely know any more about it than you do. Code reviews are arbitrary. If there is some ambiguity in direction - trust me, there will be plenty of that - you can always ask a senior for some advice. Even after doing that, there's a 50/50 chance your update will fail anyway, and it will go on your record with no recourse. Differences of opinion on solutions between people with way more experienced that yourself will become your problem. It can be extremely frustrating to work for a company that places such a high premium on perfection, and yet seems to have no clue what they actually want.

Pros

Opportunities to work from home when you beg your manager. A lot of free food events to accommodate the low salaries and bellow standard benefits. Although PTO was great, you start at 15 days which is nice. Good intention on the work culture but poorly practiced. Good company logo and good fun events .

Cons

NetSmart leadership style is 99% based on politic. The company has been having real trouble of implementing a real dev-op culture. There is no training provided , neither tuition reimbursement , neither continue education courses provided on sites. Managers have a lack of experience as far technical and leadership. Example of bad leadership I experience : I heard a manager yelling at a his engineer like a kid front of the whole team. Example of lack of Technical skills : There is an engineering manager at NetSmart who has doesn't and has never coded in his life but he's managing developers . The company tends to promote diversity , it's all a JOKE. The company is hugely white dominated with racial discrimination. Racial and age discrimination is a real issue at NetSmart. If you're a young average male and is really good at making yourself look good , you will do well at NetSmart. I literally heard a engineering manager and a VP saying "we typically like to hire young engineers in their 20s with no kids and neither responsibilities" , really ??? I see here "age" discrimination. No celebration for Martin Luther King day ! Btw NetSmart is a good stepping stone !!! if you find better, get out before they get ride of you . They're well known for getting ride of people at the end of the quarters !!!
