Pros

1. CEO is involved and cares about employees. All managers seem to have an open door policy and are interested in improvement. 2. Everyone who works here is competent, hardworking and likable. 3. Remote and flexible schedules 4. Interesting and challenging problems to work on 5. Good software development practices 6. Individual scrum teams are fun and supportive 7. Many opportunities for advancement and contribution in this growing company 8. Good work-life balance, benefits and company culture 9. The company has worked to improve the onboarding process

Cons

I do not believe that these are really cons but they are worth noting as difficult aspects of this job or things you should know before considering a job here. 1. Requirements are hard to gather and require patience and flexibility on behalf of all team members. 2. Hard deadlines exist due to the nature of government work. This means brief periods of increased hours but in my experience, they have been very brief and manageable. 3. You cannot skate by here. You must be competent and hard working.

Thanks for taking time to write a review and for being part of the SemanticBits team. We completely agree that our team members are talented and fun to work with, and it’s great to hear that you enjoy our company culture, work-life balance, and competitive benefits. We hope to offer our employees flexibility, especially when we know that some projects will require short bits of crunch-time. We also value all of your feedback because feedback from our employees helps us grow and develop as a company. We are actively taking steps to improve our benefits and employee experience, especially since we’re growing with each new contract we acquire. For instance, because of feedback like yours, we recently added two more holidays to the PTO calendar, including on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to allow employees to volunteer on that day. Due to feedback from our employees, we enhanced our parental leave policy in the last year. And, we will continue to assess our benefits and take your ideas into serious consideration. We sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding diversity because this has been one of our goals throughout the life of SemanticBits. We always try to hire the best and brightest talent of every race, gender, and sexual orientation because diverse opinions and talents make us stronger as an organization. But, you’re right: we can always do better. So, we are forming a Diversity Committee immediately to help us find, recruit, and support our diverse staff, and we hope that you will volunteer to be a part of this Committee. We aim to address suggestions and concerns as best we can. As we recruit the best and brightest talent and continue to grow, we hope to keep evolving our culture and review process to fit the dynamics of our team. We’re really glad that you’re onboard and helping us build such a strong company. Thanks for all your feedback and hard work.
