GeoFields Reviews

Pros

Great people & work environment Nice modern office in walkable midtown Good opportunities if you are smart and don't mind speaking up Only place in Atlanta to work on this kind of tech at this level

Cons

Not enough internal training Travel is to cities like Houston and many boring smaller cities. Sometimes can feel like bigger enterprise since software is for large enterprises

Advice to Management

Keep promoting from within, but also hire new blood to bring in outside perspectives.

Pros

- stays current on technology - great office location - a few really good people

Cons

- does not understand the market they are trying to solution - contentious environment that has spiraled for years due to a few key players - revolving door of talent, those that stay are far to comfortable

Advice to Management

- let others learn the market you are attempting to solution - stop the yelling/gossip/diminishing of employees and address the problems - manage your managers, as they are self serving - let the problem managers go, it is obvious who they are - institute a path to a work life balance and remote talent - scrutinize talent, efficiency and leadership above remaining PTO hours!

Pros

Great Employees/Co Workers and in a Great Location

Cons

Using some older technology but this is do to customer request.

Pros

Nice office location (Midtown) Oil and gas industry clients (one of the more stable industries in the current economy)

Cons

Lots of yelling Lack of teamwork Finger pointing instead of constructive solutions when problems arise Poor employee morale Lack of flexibility with regard to work schedules Failure to meet critical deadlines Departments do not work well together despite being a smaller company

Advice to Management

Geofields is very different from other companies in the industry with its command and control structure. Many similar companies foster a work-life balance and allow flexibility as workload ebbs and flows. Start trusting in your employees more and quit using fear-based tactics to motivate them. Encourage teamwork and hold employees accountable that aren't team players.

Pros

GeoFields strives to be the best in our field by hiring the brightest, aggressive, most personable employees who aim for the highest quality work day in and day out. The office space is open and inviting and the people are truly a delight to work with. Dialogue is encouraged among departments and management listens to any concerns one might have. If one is looking to get a foothold into the GIS Pipeline industry,... come give GeoFields a look.

Cons

Traffic in Midtown Atlanta can be a headache, but GeoFields is conveniently located next to MARTA, Atlanta's rapid transit system. Many employees have found this to be a benefit and alternative solution to Atlanta's traffic issues.

Pros

Good people & work environment Good pay & Benefits Nice office & good location in Midtown Atlanta with transit accessibility (MARTA, Express Busses) Hard work is recognized by managers & gets compensated Interesting & Challenging work Ability to explore & move into other positions within company - no barriers

Cons

One must be self-driven/independent in order to learn Lack of formal training

Advice to Management

Encourage/facilitate communication amongst different departments

Pros

Great Location in Midtown. If you like to work by yourself then this is the place for you.

Cons

This place is a sweatshop. The upper management acts like they are slave drivers. Had a horrible luncheon where the workers ate and upper management watched us eat like we are animals then had to go around and say why we liked our job. Also folks like to yell there and if you mess up once then you are labeled as a useless worker and when the time comes they will show you the door. They expect you to work long hours... and judge you if you don't. They expect you to work 50 plus hours a week at the minimum.

Advice to Management

None because unless you are in their club it doesn't matter.

Pros

Opportunities to rise through organization if top performer Very professional Sales and Marketing team with tons of market knowledge (more so than competitors) Flexible small company environment Very nice, modern office Location in nicest area in city Get to work with some really great technologists

Cons

The company is experiencing some growing pains with some past turnover being a problem but isn't the case anymore. Need to grow the training department to raise the level of new employees.

Advice to Management

Conitinue to recognize high performers and motivate average employees to become high performers. Add more training to newer employees so they won't leave before they understand the business.
