Extremely Fulfilling Job, Excellent Environment
Oct 9, 2017 - Senior Software Developer in Lapeer, MIRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
By far the best thing about working at Network Ninja is the people. Their turnover is very low, and I can guarantee that's because our teams like the people they work with. This isn't an office politics type of environment. We don't throw each other under buses. We back each other up, and we're real with each other. I came to Network Ninja 10 years ago, and I frankly thought this would be a transition job due solely to the fact that it was programming in PHP, which I didn't think would be enough of a challenge. I very quickly realized that the challenge was not only there, but it was very fulfilling. We solve business needs and can immediately see the benefits we give to our customers. We get a lot of instant gratification in feedback that I've never had with any other development position. The benefits at Network Ninja are amazing, and the pay is very competitive. Developers have complete freedom. The management is generally non-technical, and this is the type of environment where a developer who enjoys architecting, implementing, and supporting his or her own solutions will shine. This is not a micromanagement situation in the slightest, and management trusts its development teams implicitly.
Cons
Sometimes there's more work than is realistic to finish. Sometimes customer-dictated deadlines are not realistic. As with any remote position, sometimes work hours blend into personal time. It's a very flat company structure with little room for promotions of title. This isn't a con for me, but if your intent is to work your way to the top, you might be disappointed when you realize the top is one or two levels above you when you're hired in.

An Outstanding Team Environment!
Apr 4, 2023 - Account Executive in Dallas, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Team meetings are very collaborative, everyone should be contributing. This also leaves room for an individual to be creative and come up with new ideas to then share/demo with the team. Flexible work schedules and work locations have allowed them to attract top talent all over the map. The developers are extremely talented, and it is rare for software operation teams to have such close contact with these developers. Its allows developers to set expectation better for timelines and listen to feedback from users, which in the end makes both employees and clients more happy.
Cons
Not a lot to put, but you will need to be very self-motivated. The team is always there for help but, giving the space to create new ideas and explore new options also takes discpline to stay on track.

- Working remote really allows for a great work/life balance - Coworkers are dedicated and actually care when it comes to training employees, especially in terms of more junior level employees - Ive found the relatively small team sizes to be favorable, there is opportunity for collaboration and your input to be heard - Expectations are made apparent, and are reasonable - Coworkers are friendly and eager to help - Mac over Windows - Management is fantastic. They are knowledgable, communicate well, and really put a lot of confidence in their employees which I have always respected

Its hard to think of any
