Pros

Nice people, very open to hearing everyone. Very willing to try new things which is refreshing. Very flexible. Hours are reasonable. Benefits are meh but the pay is okay.

Cons

I didn't know it was a super religious company going in or I would have declined the offer. It wasn't mentioned in the interview. Praying during meetings is definitely weird in 2023 but I was willing to look past it if everything else worked out because it's not a huge deal. Just weird... When you couple that with the HIGHLY dysfunctional windows dev team though it quickly becomes a strong pass. I wouldn't recommend any level of windows developer for this company while the windows team is in its current state. The windows code is hard to look at without cringing. SOLID design principles were rarely followed when designing the windows application. Concrete dependencies are everywhere though we did our best to remove what we could. Inverted dependency relationships are common in projects. Nested inline functions are EVERYWHERE and functions that are 200+ lines for absolutely no reason are common. The list goes on. The worst part though is when you try and make the slightest improvements it's often met with resistance from other less experienced team members who somehow have seniority. It doesn't matter how many people believe it's the right choice or their level of expertise. A person can only deal with that so much before burning out. I made it a single year.

Renewed Vision Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely glad to hear that you found our culture open, flexible, and willing to try new things—that’s something we take pride in. We also appreciate your candid feedback on areas where we fell short for you, especially regarding your experience on the Windows development team. While it’s hard to hear, feedback like this helps us improve. We’ve already begun making structural and leadership changes on that team, and we’re actively working to improve our development practices and peer collaboration across all platforms. Regarding your comments about our company’s faith-based culture—we understand that this aspect of our identity may not be a fit for everyone. A few things have shifted here, and while we aren't shy about serving the church (as that is most of our customers), we do want to be a place where others feel comfortable. We’ll take your feedback to heart and look at how we can better communicate our values during the interview process so that candidates can make an informed decision.

Pros

Some of the projects are genuinely interesting when the chaos is managed enough to actually focus on them.

Cons

- The environment pretends to be collaborative and innovative, but internally it feels deeply disconnected and poorly coordinated. - Communication is constantly misaligned, and expectations shift with no clear explanation - Instead of doing meaningful work, you are stuck wasting time trying to decode unstable priorities and dealing with endless unnecessary revisions - The overall experience becomes frustrating almost immediately
