- nullfield 4y agoThey’re locally known for hiring college grads, using oddly nitpicks levels of GPA filtering regardless of other factors, then overworking them and burning them out in two years. They still use VB6 and MUMPS (a DB), and will spend six months of that two years training people, knowing how many will leave in two. They have a “one month all-paid sabbatical” they dangle over your head you get at five years. During COVID they bulk fucked people over, since they couldn’t travel, and we’re like “you can take a couple weeks off and then do it again later”, when it was supposed to be “we’ll pay while you go to Italy or NZ or whatever” for a month. …never mind this weird little microcosm of themed hallways, buildings, and whatever that more belong in a children’s amusement park than a software engineering and associated support/marketing company’s headquarters. It’s kinda a joke. Just a well-paying joke, where you leave and go consult on their stuff at a third party after you ditch.
