Good benefits, bad projects - Software Developer Nexus Innovations Employee Review

- Most projects suck bad - It looks like the sales team has little to no control over the projects they sign, they just take the first opportunity they get, which means a lot of projects are really bad: outdated tech, unfun clients, very corporate environments, uninteresting business problems, etc. - As a developer you're always gonna be compromising for the needs of the customer. Which makes sense, but can be really annoying if you like writing actual good code - Management is disconnected from the reality of 80% of the workforce (the developers) - Lots of HR BS: mandatory HR activities, feedback workshops, etc. In contrast, there were almost never any software-related activities - Career advancement is completely screwed and impractical for most devs, unless you have your own technical blog and/or want to move up to a more management oriented role. If you're a good developer from a technical perspective and don't care for the "human", manager side of things, you'll hit a wall quite soon (both in progression and salary, because they are closely related) - The evaluation process is very biased and changes every year. Management does not know how to deal with transparency on these subjects and always mismanages this very, very crucial process. There's some inequity as well, which would fly under the radar if the employees didn't talk among themselves - Management is very new to this whole "manage a business" thing. They just don't know what they're doing, and it's hard to be motivated as an employee when you see them take awkwardly bad decisions over and over again - Management is a clique, most of them are friends or ex-coworkers from the same company
