Maker engineer - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Consilience Software

Very smart developers, great opportunities for career advancement, interesting work

Consilience is a growing company, so at times your workload is higher than it would be in a similar job at a larger company.

If you're looking for a job right out of college, the pay will probably be decent.

The President lives by a "shut up, you have a job now get back to work" mentality, does not seem to value his employees and micro-manages. He's made jokes about firing employees before, because apparently it was "funny". Junior to senior employees are underpaid by around 20-30% from market value - because of this there's a high level of mediocrity in the development staff. Low salaries coupled with the fact that they are using a fairly archaic stack, leaves little incentive for engineers looking for a challenge to join. They've recently been purchased by Xerox and from what I understand the employees that have stuck around are having their benefits slashed. Most of the original employees left before the acquisition and after hearing about how those that have stayed are being taken care of, I don't blame them for not sticking around.
