Pros

I liked their outlook on work, very easy going and no fuss. I came here after, I quit my previous work due to a constraint I was facing in my personal life. While, I was unable to get everything I wanted, they were one of two companies that accommodated my needs. They had me submit some paperwork, and once that was done they called me back in 3 weeks - which I was not expecting. At this stage in my life, through work here I learned to carefully list and ask perceptive questions, and quickly comprehend new or highly complex solutions. There is a huge amount of satisfaction, when I can have a deep deep discussion on challenges with my customers, before I never got this level of ownership or involvement. To each his own - I know some people don't like to get into group discussions quite a lot. I was one of those, but I have learned work matters more and I feel more effective on my regular days. I have curteous work envrionment, with unfailing respect and trust from the clients because of how the organization communicates. They're uncompromising fair and objective.

Cons

In their efforts to be transparent, and explicit, they use checklists a lot. At first, I found sometimes the information could be presented better, later I realized it was only process. I suggested that they explain some of this ahead of time

Pros

Great working environment, good stepping platform for building my skillsets, got to "test" the waters. Besides work life balance, being talented and nice coworkers, exposure to complex system and cutting edge technology. They also offered to help my self get certified in opps aligned with my work. I read some of the other reviews and I wanted to make it clear there is product development happening as well. So if you are on the product side, then you're on their technical product oriented work (not services), and early on it can be a fast-paced environment thats competitive; results-driven; analytical; manage-by-the-numbers culture; Smart and technical leadership. The people I worked with were great. My direct managers/leads were wonderful to work for. They always had my back and tried to advocate for us.

Cons

Everybody seemed rather cool, the atmosphere really open and generally enjoyable. They were fairly quick with setting up the interview, but their clients seemed to be very slow with the feedback process, I was given regular updates from Mapjects. It would have been nice to get some more concrete dates, when I inquired I was told they were still waiting on their clients feedback. I finally got the work, but rather long process.

Pros

1) More employee attention, smaller firm, specialized and focused in engineering. 2) The office is custom-built and some fun exclusive employee use only gaming events, like a starutp has, foosball, ping pong, etc. 3) On down time, they were very constructive, and especially when we first started, we did more team events on longer fully paid weekend event. Which was completly out of the ordinary, and fun. They were attempting/trying to brew a family and freinds atmosphere-which I appreciate. The mini-van was not big enough, so we had to drive our cars, they forgot to comp me on the fuel. But Mapjects paid for the rest of the trip, tickets and loding. 4) The office is dog, pet-friendly. 5) For the size of the organization, they sustain relatively innovative, nimble, and fast-paced and open with communication but, that is definitely changing as they institute new process. Interesting to see how the new management will maintain that balance. They're opened an office in VA. 6) With their focus areas, and products, growing it will be interesting to watch their managements roadmap. 7) You work with some of the brightest, most innovative and hard-working/diligent minds in the industry.

Cons

The change in the office location has some of us wondering whats happening to our careers. Also, Mapjects sustains relatively innovative, nimble, and fast-paced and open with communication. Its going to be interesting to see how they bring this to their services side.
