Hahahahaha, oh man. Did this page make it to the top of the Google results for Softscape again, and you needed to bump up the average rating? Having trouble finding programmers willing to be abused? -

I still cant over the prior post about Softscape cutting employee salaries by 75% to cover the cost of the beating they took in the Successfactors lawsuit. -

Positive and Creative Environment posted by DudeGuy on September 23, 2009 12:30 PM
"a positive and creative environment"Wasn't positive when I worked there...I left before the Xmas pay debacle so I cannot comment on that. But when I was there, all the employees knew their time was limited. The turn over rate was so high, one janitor never knew who to contact to get his check. No one ever thought about a career ladder. Creative....yeah, I can give you that. Basically you needed to be creative with your hacks in order to get baseline code to work properly. Which were many! IMO, I think they would have eliminated many of their (non-personnel) lawsuits if they just didn't over promise and had a working baseline. They'd be a good company too if the W's left (which is their President, VP, CTO), hired actual executives, and they spent time on fixing baseline bugs and refactoring.Anyways....that will never happen. So all you coders out there, if you do find yourself a position at this company....and ultimately low-balled.....just know what your getting in to. -
