Smart developers but treated badly

Minpunten

The above review must have been written by a member of upper management, as they are all French. This is the worst place to work if you are an American Citizen. The French that work in the company are treated far better than the Americans. The French get 6 weeks vacation, the Americans 3. The French are allowed to rollover vacation time at the end of the calendar year, the Americans aren't, and the French are allowed time off for medical appointments, not so for the Americans. In fact, two of the hardest working people I've ever seen were recently let go, simply because they are Americans. Sefas imports French interns from France and pays all their living expenses, rather than provide an internship to someone going to a local college. There is a definite bias against American citizens. The VP of Operations has openly berated many of the Americans, but ignores costly errors from the French workers. Besides the obvious discrimination, this is a poorly run company. There has been ONE new license sale in the past three years. They are surviving off the teat of Citizens Bank and Highmark Health. Once these contracts are up, Sefas in America will be closed.

I am speaking for the software developer portion of the company as that is where my job is at. So other parts of the company I cant speak on in depth personally. Good team. The lead is a good boss. The team is a good team focused on work but has social events for those interested, meaning social events are not mandatory, you can just listen / lurk as well. Very accomodating of circumstances. Such as I had to travel half way across the world to visit the grave of a recently deceased grandparent and I got time off for it. Very helpful in teaching how things are done. Respectful and professional in how they deal with one another. Boss's boss is also a good person. Keeps people updated on situation of company. Such as building confidence in future work and companies future / current revenue streams. For now the company is doing well. Hope it lasts through upcoming recession. But if not it is understandable. I did look at previous glassdoor reviews before signing on to the company. There was a review for something about French superiority? At the very least I can guarantee that in the software jobs side of things there is no such thing. And I don't see any case of it company wide. Though I will say by the nature of the company most/all of the decision makers will be from France which is completely normal and understandable. Its a French company's subsidiary that has been around for a while. Ending of review Although I do get why glassdoor keeps reviews anonymous. The info i am giving is pretty easy to identify me with and hard to give without being specific. My name is muhammad salman. Also just being honest here: I dont like lying or hiding. If the company was bad then I would have not have made a review until I had left. Instead I would have tried to work negative issues out from within. Glad there are none to speak of. Motivation for making this review: I wanted to see salaries to see what next few years would be like. But glassdoor requires review or salary. So I chose review. Now that I think about it salary would've been the quicker of the two .... Whelp atleast I hope this helps someone out. Ah also if you like mail/postal industry you'll like this job.

Minpunten

Not really any cons. If any my job is a remote one so the general pros and cons of that for people who like or dont like remote. Not a con for me but for some others it could be? The product is a company specific one and there is a lot of custom python tooling surrounding it. So to be effective you have to learn those. So expect to be learning about it. It isnt a tool you could've learned before applying. Training procedure could be streamlined? Its good but that avg of new developers taking 6 months to be productive hits pretty true at the moment or perhaps it only feels that way from my perspective. Cons for myself as a reviewer. This is my first full time job in the industry. I have had a part time one before. This review is written in text so please be charitable in your interpretation of its tone. Tone is meant to be respectfully informing. Though there are a few asides of my realization.
