4.0 Good place to build your career posted by Encoder on October 02, 2007

Since I first posted this review years ago, this company has changed, and so has my opinion of it.

This is a good place for a newish developer to gain experience and grow his career.

    >>>He's fond of saying that 40 hour weeks are for "wimps"

    You've got to be kidding me. If that is true, I feel sorry for his employees. That's probably about the weakest line that could come from anyone, but coming from an owner or high up it's even worse and shows how weak his ethics is and is a prime example of how to ruin your best assets...your employees and their lives.

    If I had an employer tell me that, I would lose all respect for that person instantly.
