Pros

Lots of natural light in the building. Close to Paradise Valley Mall. Plenty of parking. Casual dress code. Some very good and capable long term developers.

Cons

No real effort is made to properly size projects at the macro or the micro level. The business and the development departments are constantly pointing the finger at each other for anything that goes wrong. Yet, neither department wants to concede any control to the other. Lay offs and firings seem to happen almost monthly if not more often, because the contractors and employees seem to be scapegoated for problems on a larger scale. 3 types of outsourcing have been tried in the last 2 years alone leaving the employees thinking that the only plan this company has is constant random change. New CEO seems completely oblivious to the real issues and appears to be completely unaware or does not even care about the chaos that is going on underneath him. Upper management is focused on sales while the development department is suffering from unusually high turn over. New technology is being fast tracked into the existing company products without being properly cost benefit analyzed or prototyped. All decisions both technological and organizational are being made with a very top down approach and any kind of descent is forcefully discouraged.

We understand that with any company experiencing rapid growth and change, the inevitable growing pains may not be easy for all. While we would love for all employees to have a great experience, we know that it is not always achievable and that sometimes it is just better for the individual to find a new role where the pace and expectations may be better aligned. While we always appreciate feedback, whether positive or constructive, we would also like to point out that this organization has not experienced any layoffs under the new CEO, who started in August, and turnover has been minimal. We truly hope you find success in the future, even if it might not be here at SkyTouch.

Going down the tubes

Pros

Casual dress code. Close to CostCo.

Cons

Close to 80% turnover in the last year. Authoritarian style management. Sweat shop like work expectations. Terrible project and resource planning. The sophistication of the current management style seems to be "Get Err Done" and "You're my friend or your my enemy." Horribly overpriced bare bones health insurance.

Pros

Management is reflective and willing to change things that aren't working. Great culture of innovation and foundations of great product management are being built

Cons

The market demands for feature outpace the resources and sometimes the things that would make it easier on internal people are sacrificed.
