Run Far Away - Software Support DesertMicro Employee Review

Small teams, and a collaborative tight-knit environment.

Some employees were overseas with a varying schedule, so temporal coordination was difficult at times.

DesertMicro is the most well-respected software in the industry. They attend 12+ trade shows per year, and continue to grow their client base as well as develop profitable partnerships with other well-respected companies in the industry. I used to work for DM and found it to be the most rewarding job I've had to date. You will WORK YOUR BUTT OFF but feel such a sense of accomplishment through it all. The company's motto is definitely "work hard, play hard," and the CEO is very generous, treating employees to company social events, holiday parties, etc. My only reason for resigning was because I could no longer work full-time and found a part-time position...I now work for a small business that has a plethora of issues that I never had to worry about at DM.

Unfortunately, as with any company, you cannot prevent disgruntled ex-employees from using online blogs and review sites as an outlet to express their crazed opinions. It's so funny to read the previously written reviews, and you can almost CERTAINLY determine which ex-employees wrote them - dates reviews were written coincide with termination dates, poor grammar and personal attacks on management. Be assured that these crazy opinions by crazy people are not an accurate portrayal of what really goes on at this company. It's a fun, busy environment, and as with any job, it becomes what you make of it.
