Bob Alves
Current Employee – been working at Advanced Solutions International full-time
Pros – ASI knows how to treat employees right: working here is fun, it's a good salary, we get a lot of time off so we can have a life outside of work, and there are a lot of opportunities to learn new things and move around to other roles if you want to.
Cons – There are not many cons that I can think of. It seems like the biggest complaint I hear is that the developers can no longer exclusively work from home, but I actually think that it makes sense. People seem to collaborate better face to face.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Advanced Solutions International full-time for less than a year
Pros – Great community, pretty solid product, good infrastructure for testing
Cons – The summary sentence kind of says it all. I got a lot of training, but not the training I needed to do the job I needed to do with the part of the application I was working on. So it left me lost and them disappointed.
Advice to Senior Management – If you have a plan for what the new employee is going to test, given the complexity of the application, you need to focus your socialization efforts on what they will be required to do. Don't focus so much on all the other stuff that they may not touch especially in the short term.

Current Employee – been working at Advanced Solutions International full-time
Pros – Business purpose is to provide software that helps nonprofits be more effective in their work; CEO conducts quarterly conference calls for all staff to get status on company plans, finances, etc; overall really cool people who are mutually supportive.
Cons – Staff always feeling some general stress from economic impact on the company's business market and from rapidly changing technology/competition - constant pressure to do more faster! But management works with staff to keep it in balance.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up current habit of keeping staff informed about marketplace, economic implications, competitors, current company status, future plans.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Advanced Solutions International
Pros – Reasonable work hours, benefits; large number of long-term employees and high rate of women in technical positions. Agile processes and SCRUM teams are well established.
Cons – Strategic direction and emphasis flip-flops; management over-commits so that critical product initiatives undercut each other. Poor planning for scaling up for cross-department commitments.
Advice to Senior Management – Establish set of architects to guide cross-team, cross-product development of database, API, content, and UX; grant Agile teams full freedom to determine their processes.

Current Employee – been working at Advanced Solutions International
Pros – They make sure we have a good life balance and celebrations to mark milestones. Because it is a private company, we focus on long-term strategies instead of shareholder return for the quarter.
Cons – Goals and strategies change frequently or are not effectively communicated with teams.
Many production employees would prefer to work at home.
Advice to Senior Management – Document strategic decisions clearly, communicate to teams, don't chase every shiny distraction.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
