Sink or Swim - Software Developer 7Factor Employee Review

I appreciate the candid review, as always. We are a company of kind candor focused on ensuring that everyone gets their chance to give feedback and make the company better. Thank you! Support is provided by all team members across multiple projects, something you never see in other consulting firms. This provides a broad network of humans that can help consultants with any form of problem but does require effort on the part of the individual to seek out what they need. You must take advantage of the community in order to get the support required, as an individual leader cannot scale past a few people and be effective. As with high performing company, you are in fact, responsible for your own destiny. This mentality is displayed and is successful at Google, Facebook, and many other very successful software engineering companies--those companies just have infinite resources that allow them to do things a small, 30 person start-up, unfortunately, can not. At 7Factor you have the freedom to take ownership of your career and drive it as far as you'd like it to go but that requires effort on the employee's part and support from leadership. I realize that's not an ideal setting for some folks looking for a more structured career path but we are successful precisely because of that spirit. I encourage this employee if they feel comfortable, to reach out to me directly and I will happily have a private, non-retaliatory, open dialog about any challenges they have. If they feel like they are not supported I'd love a chance to solve that problem immediately and will happily apologize for any perceived corporate Darwinism (which is healthy to a point). - Jduv
