Pros
- Great community of employees - Management is involved in all levels of the company, and the management style has a 'family business' feel to it. - If you prove yourself, and are willing to go above the standard '9-5 mentality' you will be rewarded. - Very progressive thinking towards development, which makes it a very stimulating environment to work in - Many of the employees above the entry level role have been in the industry in some form for 10+ years, and have a great deal of knowledge to share - A recent facilities upgrade, and one planned for the near future, have made the working environment very comfortable - WAND University is closing the knowledge gap for new hires, and provides courses on every product the company offers.
Cons
- Although growing, WAND is still a small business. You will not get some of the perks associated with larger employers - You WILL work more than 40 hours a week if you want to get recognized (it's a development house, what did you expect???). Don't apply for this company if you draw the line at 40 hours a week. - There is a good deal of revamping going on, and this means a lot of compensation by employees. - There is still high turnover in the TAC. It would be nice to see the criteria for hiring these employees raised a little bit. The current approach seems to be locating warm bodies who can string a coherent sentence together - not on quality service providers. - The development cycle is sometimes rushed beyond what is realistically achievable.
