Pros

Generally staffed with good people, benefits are good, some free lunches, excellent kitchen, weekly paychecks, overall nice location. A lot of good 'pros' sadly outweighed by the very product they produce.

Cons

No technical management, or formalized software development and support. Though software UI is nice, this place is a SQL Server and Crystal Reports disaster. Most of the SQL is not normalized let alone optimized, and the Crystal Reports were obviously done by someone who knew little about Crystal. As well, SQL Server databases are way overdone with more tables and stored procedures than in applications 25 times its size, which of course means bloat, bloat and more bloat. There is also no head of product/software development and thus no regimentation on features or development schedules. Company owner simply walks in and demands features as he goes along, slowly generating a confusing and poorly put-together application that will likely, at some point, be so slow as to be unusable.

Pros

As a current employee, I’m surprised at the overall tone of these negative comments. There isn’t a bit of truth in them. Conest is an awesome company to work for. It is technically challenging working on industry leading software. The people are great to work with and the owners are really nice people, who would help you in any way they can. But being a small company, it isn’t like a big one. There isn’t the big company management structure or a big company way of doing things. You are asked to work hard, put in a good days work and act with integrity. Each day’s work contributes to the success of the company. Those that decide not to do what they were hired to do were asked to leave. Not everyone can workout in a small company. They decided to put out a negative review rather than take ownership for their actions. I have found that if you work hard at Conest, you earn others respect and become a member of a very exciting fluid team.

Cons

No vending machines in the break room
