Urban Science reviews

Workload is different between teams, but titles remain the same.

They force clunky, outdated, horrendous software development processes on everyone that makes them spend more time on process than actual development. They have unqualified people in several key positions and this stymies growth, potential and change. Despite big disasters in previous efforts, they kept (and sometimes promoted) those responsible. Morale is generally very poor and turnover is high. The new open office environment looks nice aesthetically, but in practicality makes it much more difficult to work. Impossible to concentrate let alone get a moment of privacy. Seems dreamed up to take a good PR photo or by a Big Brother mico manager rather than by the people who have to work in it. For a company whose lifeblood is the capture and transformation of data, they devote shockingly few resources to database design, development, or maintenance.
