Dear Cowardous Anonymous,This website supposed to be a place for "Employer Ratings for Coders, by Coders". Tell us please, how your assessment of their product potential does fit that description? Are you saying that a golden shower from a hypothetical buyout would be enough to consider GCS a good place to work? Like, if they ever make money they would share it with their code slaves? Well, I was that naive also, and now I'm a member of the "cheated for 20K USD" club. Anyway, you aren't seriously saying that a huge monolithic Windows application written in BASIC by very basic programmers can be an interesting buyout target, aren't you?Cheers,

Is this constructive for anyone? -

Of course it is constructive. This is just the type of information job seekers need. Of course, bad employers hate it as they don't want to be exposed.
A few basic rules when dealing with [i]this[/i] company:
a) Verbal agreements are worthless.
b) Written agreements are close to worthless.
c) Any 'delay' in salary payments means it is time to walk.
d) Cash up front is the only thing that counts; any promises of future payouts are just words.
e) Do not trust the management.
