Dead end job. - Senior Software Developer SemanticBits Employee Review

We appreciate the feedback on your experience working with us, and we’re sorry that you didn’t find a good fit with us. A majority of our employees are remote, and we understand that it can take a while to acclimate to a team. For that reason, we foster interactivity by leaving channels open for everyone to mingle, through tools like Slack, in an effort to maintain a strong and supportive environment. The vast majority of our employees find the culture to be positive. This is achieved because our teams mesh well and team members find their work fulfilling and challenging. Couple that with our competitive benefits—including great medical insurance, retirement plan, paid holidays and personal days, and opportunities to learn new technologies—and it’s no surprise why so many of our employees stick around for many years. We love that our team members take initiative in sharpening their skills and collaborating with each other, and ultimately feel invested in the great work we do. Those are the employees that shine and are rewarded with the promotions they deserve. As you mention, a good bit of our work is for government healthcare platforms, which we find to be meaningful and dynamic. To meet the needs of our clients and to do the best possible work, we make sure that our product is well developed and thoroughly tested. As you know, we use a team-based estimation process, called pointing poker, where every teammate gets to contribute to the estimation of effort to complete each task. We use continuous integration and continuous deployment techniques to automatically run tests, code quality checks, linters, and automated deployment to environments. We value high-quality, correctly written code, implemented quickly. All code must be reviewed by at least the technical lead and one other teammate, which is handled in a rapid and Agile manner through Github pull request reviews. While refactoring is sometimes necessary, this is not the norm. We endeavor to get a design right first, but we also value “getting our hands dirty” and implementing rapidly. Sometimes we won’t know the right solution until we begin implementation, and refactoring is required. Again, we’re sorry you didn’t find a home with us and wish you the best in future endeavors.
