  • 1.0 Great Coffee Machine, not much else posted on August 30, 2007

    Consider a highly complicated medical / clinical system and then start writing a product with nothing but some Visio half cocked screen design and some verbal specifications, stir twice and you get Hospital 2000. Here is a product that has been close to five years in the making, which should have been completed in two; to date it has still not been delivered. This company has absolutely no software development and release management practises in place, or more...

  • 1.0 Big frown in the land of a 1000 smiles posted by benthere on March 26, 2007

    Do not be fooled. If you have any desire to work here, run (don't walk) to the nearest shrink. The product it worthless, the CEO is a psycho and there is no management that even vaguely deserves the name of management nor is there any vision to be seen.

    There are some very nice and competent employees, but the atmosphere of fear and insane decisions make it unbearable as a workplace.

    This company deserves a special Zero Star rating.

  • 2.0 GCS posted on February 05, 2007

    Excellent potential for the product, requires depth in clinical functionality. Has not grown as much as they could have. Potential buyout target for a larger player in HCIT.

  • 4.0 I Don't See The Problem posted on January 09, 2007

    I really don't see where these other posters (mainly the negative ones) are coming from. I have been a developer here for 3+ years and do not see what these guys are ranting about.

    Last year I saw one develpoer leave the company, and she moved to the US to get married. The year before I think there might have been two who left. To be fair there were a few more that only lasted a week or two but that was because they were in over their heads.

    We get to more...

  • 4.0 Freedom to influence product posted on December 19, 2006

    Not sure what these other postings are all about, but as far as I am concerned it is a great place to work if you love 100% Microsoft technology. If you do not love Microsoft, or you have a secret desire for open source, this is not the place to be.

    I get to write software and have direct input to product features. I find this the best part of the job. Usually, in most companies, the developer does not get to influence product. At GCS we are encouraged to more...

  • 1.0 A Mort Reservation posted on December 18, 2006

    Morts all over the place, writing hopelessly amateurish software in their Mort's ways, like squeezing out 3 pages of VB code instead of a single regex, because they have no idea what regex is. As much as I like to make fun of their bosses (Cartoon Network worth characters themselves) I must admit the bosses were right about choosing VB.NET over C# on the ground that "our programmers won't understand C#". Indeed.

  • 1.0 Delusional Paranoid Incompetent posted by alexsh on December 17, 2006

    When you look from inside, this company looks like a bunch of crooks trying to extort some money from Thailand so they can spend the rest of their lives in... Malawi.

  • 4.0 cutting edge .Net development - perfect location posted on December 16, 2006

    very strong development team with freedom to create cool software
    amazing office location in downtown bangkok
    good salary
    weekends on the beach
    it's a dream job for a developer!

  • 3.0 it's not so bad posted on December 14, 2006

    Generally excellent developers but some staff over-burdened. Previous poster's comments were a bit severe... especially about the toilet!Office and location are cool.

  • 1.0 i is not a researcher posted on December 02, 2006

    why employ consultants and use them as reasearchers.....

  • 1.0 Management lacks leadership skills posted on November 28, 2006

    Global Care Solutions (GCS) is managed by a bunch of people with no leadership skills at all. They despise their subordinates, and they make no secret of that. Racial and sexist slur is frequently used in everyday conversations in a way that would be prosecutable in many western countries. Staff members and customer's representatives of Asian descent, especially Thais, are openly referred to as "chimps" by management (no joke!).
