Ottimo - Software Engineer Ferrari Color Employee Review

Great company. They're big enough to bring in really exciting clients, but small enough that the owners still know all the employee's names. I worked there longer than any previous job (7 years if I recall correctly). My team was great. Interdepartmental communications were strong. Accountability lead to pride in my job. It was a great experience.

Those really exciting clients can also lead to really long hours from time to time. But tight deadlines and juggling multiple clients goes with the territory.

+As much cross-training as you want. +Snacks every Friday. +One free meal provided each month. +Between .50 to 1$ raise per year for most people. (can be a con if you started with low base pay and work hard). +Owners are good people. +Open book policy on company profits provided during finance meetings. +Can be a good job if you keep to yourself and don't engage in the gossip and trash talking that seems to be a constant part of every working day here. +As far as print shops go this is one of the nicer ones in the state. +Somewhat flexible with taking time off.

-A lot of drama between co-workers, and different shifts. -Managers are well aware of it and ignore it. -Open drug use by some individuals and shifts that is ignored by management. -Machines are not properly maintained and run until they fail. -When machines break they are jury-rigged to work by management and employees. -Yearly reviews are purely a formality, it does not matter how hard you worked or how much you improved your not going to get more than a dollar raise at best. -High turnover rate. -A few of the managers are some of the most unprofessional I have ever worked around. -Owners do not do a thorough enough vetting of management candidates. -Health insurance is way too expensive, particularly if your covering your family. -401k vesting..... -Full time only
