Great Company - Anonymous employee Modal Digital Agency Employee Review

If you enjoy working in a fast agile environment that puts a lot of unpaid overtime then this is your place. You will learn a lot about the technologies used which will prepare you in your career in a short amount of time. They have pretty good benefits, medical, dental, life insurance, and 401K. Small company environment.

The company is very unorganized. The people in charge have no comprehension how long development takes on projects. This leads to about 10% of the project time devoted to development and constantly sets projects behind. The people in charge of strategy have never contribute anything to benefit the company and often times ask other developers to do their job. Upper management all worked together at a former company and are untouchable to criticism. They constantly slander employee's that leave on good grounds. They makeup fake accusations to persecute any developer that chooses to seek employment elsewhere.

This place is good in that it's a very fast pace place to work at (People who are bored at corporate will find stuff to do here all the time). They have daily builds on most of their projects. They also give quite a good amount of holidays outside of the national holiday, so it gives some break from all the hectic work pace that goes on. People are friendly there enough that will make you comfortable on your first day. On top of that, they usually have company parties/activities and short days.

All work are given without clear directions. Documentations are just done poorly, in addition to a bad project management. In ideal companies, project managers should have a background in that field, except this place, which makes people at the lower level work on multiple hats to accommodate the upper positions. Also hard to get a raise here. They do annual reviews, however, you will most likely not get one even if you get good review. Management also don't tend to pay much attention to employees. They do realize it if you talk to them, but you will have to constantly remind them and give them enough reasons to persuade them to agree with you. Also, if you are a developer, brace yourselves to be on call all the time, meaning you may have to wake up at night to fix something because it was not tested correctly. The company does not have any QA's and are tested by Sales people.
