Great people under bad management - Software Engineer projekt202 Employee Review

People care about the work and their teams. Good work / life balance.

Health benefits were not that great.

There are still some good, smart architects left at P202. And the UX and Design people are great.

The software engineers, especially the backend software engineers, are put on extremely large projects and treated as Staff Augmentation to the big companies that are hiring p202. P202 software devs don't "own" the projects and don't have any control over the technology, the design, even the code. The full-time employees at the client sites are running the show and sometimes don't even assign work to the P202er's. It wouldn't be so bad except the Addison office is all hip and cool and the people who work there might as well work for a different company. It's extremely demoralizing to work at a depressing client site where you're treated with disrespect and distrust and then come into P202 and see everyone laughing, happy, and drinking beer on tap and acting like they still work at a startup. And the software devs out at the client site might be there for years with no exit strategy and no other projects they can move to.
