      Pros

      *Decent hourly rate or full time salary *Pretty good part time gig, if you are on the right project *Great equipment, decent benefits *Good use of tools - Jira, Google, Slack, Harvest, Gusto, Zoom, GitHub *If you are lucky enough to get on a good team, you will learn some stuff even if it's a crash course *Contract Payment processing is easy and streamlined with Gusto *They are discreet about your employment as a side gig *Easy Interview

      Cons

      *Do not expect a performance review or rate increase *Lack of interesting projects *Unable to move to a different project once you have domain knowledge *As a full time contractor - you will have times where you do not get 40 hours a week to charge *No time to learn or grow without stress because you have to account for every minute of your day as a producible item for a client *Projects discovery takes too long and does not give detailed requirements *Benefits stop on your last day. If they decide to move your last day - you will lose your insurance without notice *I highly advise any developer to ask them to explain their turn over rate before deciding to join - take them up on their offer of transparency!

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts through an Exit Interview and Glassdoor review. We experienced tremendous growth - >30% - during the 15 months that you were on our team. Lots of changes, including more engineering management to specifically help with the issues you faced. Growth brings larger clients, more challenging projects, and more internal spending on process and leadership will continue to help provide stability, intellectual stimulation, and support for our team. However, you're right, our entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and 100% remote work environment is not for everyone! Thank you again! Your impact at Inventive was positive and will continue to be felt.

      Pros

      Positive work environment with a great team of people. Fun but productive culture with a lot of direct collaboration.

      Cons

      Very little. The team is very capable, competent, and eager to make things happen. Haven't experienced any drama, toxic people, or unfairness.

      Pros

      Easy to get hired and somewhat competitive pay

      Cons

      The most untrustworthy leadership I've ever encountered. These reviews you read about them hiring contract developers and promising a full time gig only to cut them loose early are true. It's how they keep the overhead to a minimum. The surprise calls with the COO laying people off with no notice or severance are true. They shove culture down your throat and then go against everything they preach. Go check out the latest work they highlight on the site, it's all old projects and Texas A&M are the only ones keeping the lights on. Bad company, worse management.
