Meetings, meetings, meetings... if you have any ambition look elsewhere. - werkgeversreview Senior Engineer bij Renaissance Learning

Where to start? This place sucks! Nonstop meetings about estimating how many hours a development task will take. Count on at least a full day of 'batching' at least every month. These meetings are pointless and do nothing but waste time. There is no congruency in the methods of development and the engineering teams bicker amongst one another like a 2nd grade playground. Expect to be micromanaged at every avenue, hourly 'status updates', scheduling of meetings used as a way of punishment, and endless use of annoying buzzwords. The majority of the engineering staff are immature and spend their time playing childish games. I can recall a time when a 30+ year old male hid plastic toy 'ninja' figurines throughout the office. Give me a break, I came to this company under the premise it was professional and held opportunities to bring skills obtained through other positions to innovate and develop great products. It seems that if you're not willing to spend time outside of work with the staff socializing and behaving like a child, they're not going to like you. The majority of employees here have no spine and behave cowardly. Rather than bringing an issue to your attention, they'll complain through the back channels and lack the courage to confront you.
