Pluspunten

Bluewave maintains a good reputation for customer service, and really taking care of the client. In most cases, our clients really do enjoy our presence, which is always good in the world of IT. Fellow employees overall are helpful, and friendly...usually ready to lift a hand if needed. The company events help for team and morale building. I really do enjoy the time I've spent with Bluewave.

Minpunten

Personally (honestly), I think Bluewave tends to sell people short a bit. In terms of salary, I don't believe most employee compensation matches their skillsets. I've heard the phrase, "They should've been hired at a higher position," thrown around quite often. I don't believe there is sufficient amount of engagement to the team of engineers. Although we are sort of left to our own devices and not micromanaged...there's also not much of an avenue for self-improvement. There are certifications, but mostly related to Windows. There's not many channels for creative or intuitive solutions, mainly due to budget or our own restrictions. There's too much focus on metrics, and making a quota. Too much talk of numbers forces employees away, and creates worker drones; not creative/free thinkers. An employee's abilities and knowledge can be immediately overshadowed by the race for good numbers and generating revenue. There should be a better balance.

I very much appreciate the feedback. I realize that these reviews are anonymous, I would very much like to hear more from you on specifics. In particular...balancing culture with metrics, your training/certification opportunities, and your view on salaries. Being competitive with salaries is very important to us as an organization. We benchmark salaries/skills on an annual basis and, as such, this year we budgeted for more than 2x the industry average. Certainly there will always be some that are not quite where they think they should be and we do our best to take care of those. If you have a particular concern, please discuss with me or your manager. (Sean)

Pluspunten

Bluewave Computing presents the opportunity to truly grow with a company. While it does take some time to progress up the ranks, it is very possible to get noticed because of the organizational structure of the teams. If you are a hard worker and are self-motivated, there is no reason that you will not move up very quickly at this organization. I have seen the ups and downs. Even when the economy took a turn for the worst, this company still did not let anyone go due to financial problems. The CEO is very committed to his employees. Now, the economy has turned around and management is noticing that we are a bit behind on compensation. What do they plan to do? They are re-evaluating the compensation to bring them more in line with industry standards. Management is very agile and nimble given the correct data to back any changes that someone suggests. MAJOR UPSIDE HERE: If you have the data and business plan to support a new client offering, the EVP is always open to additional ideas on how to help out our clients from a strategic perspective.

Minpunten

Due to Bluewave still being a relatively small company, people sometimes wear multiple hats resulting in some ambiguous responsibilities. This is starting to get better as the company is in a major growth pattern and responsibilities are being assigned to their rightful places, and people are getting placed "inside the correct box."
