Software service - werkgeversreview Software QA Architect bij CompleWare

Great benefits. The leadership really cares about employees. Your work makes a difference. The company culture values quality. Employee suggestions are taken seriously. The atmosphere is usually relaxed. The dress code is informal.

It's a small company in an industry of big fish. This can lead to periods of instability. There are some communication issues between departments, but nothing out of the ordinary.

This was a small company when I worked there, so there was some room to learn new things.

Utterly incompetent upper management (for the most part). Employees are generally expected to do things that are not in their job descriptions, sometimes unethical things (like working on materials that will affect the outcome of medical trials). I was actually let go for refusing to do one of those things. When I told the president that I would not be able to work on that particular project, rather than responding to me, he went running around the facility, looking for my direct manager. There was little reward for these extra contributions. The president has difficulty focusing and likes to micromanage directly over employees' shoulders rather than attending to his own work. When I was there, several web cameras were added to the facilities to "protect supplies" but all of the cameras were pointed at employees and none were pointed at the supply cage. The president once tried to justify having two employees compete on a project by relating it to the episode of "The Apprentice" that he'd seen the night before.
