Great people - Staff Programmer Objective (UT) Employee Review

Objective is a great place to work at, filled with the best people to work alongside with. I loved that I could try different languages and frameworks, and because everyone is just as curious as you, you can always get the help you need. You're never working on the same thing, so it keeps things interesting.

Though not a bad thing, working at an agency requires you to have a broad knowledge and willingness to learn new things constantly; if you thrive in this type of environment, than this isn't a con.

- Very flexible schedule. Full-time on the 9's schedule, flexible hourly, or contract work all provide a good work-life balance. Remote work is very common too, and has been especially helpful during the pandemic. - Talented co-workers. It's the most skilled and competent team of developers I've ever worked with. While mostly grouped into project-based teams, any larger problems are quickly solved with group effort. - Good perks. Health, dental, 401k matching, fully-stocked break room, top of the line computers, monitors, desks, and chairs (seriously the chairs are fantastic) - Huge amount of autonomy and creative control for developers. If you can make a good case for a technology, you can use it on a project. Teams are small and focused, so you can call the shots on many decisions. - Focused work atmosphere. People come in to get work done and there aren't many distractions. Efficiency is a core value.

- Would not be a great place for junior developers. You really need to be a self-starter and know what you're doing to handle the expected workload. Someone completely green without at least a year or two of experience would probably have a hard time keeping up. - It can be a bit quiet. The focused work atmosphere is a double-edged sword sometimes. It's great for getting things done, but sometimes I wish things were a bit more social.
