Q-Free ASA Reviews

There is a very strong clique mentality which can make or break your time here. There are a select few that get the choice treatment when it comes to raises, work, and growth and development opportunities. If you are not a part of this core group it is an uphill battle to prove yourself. Even after proving yourself, if you’re not in the clique you get paltry raises in comparison to those that are in it. There is also way too much of a “we’ll fix that later” mentality. Rather than tackling the technical debt early they tend to add to the growing backlog and the quality of the products and the maintainability of them suffers for it.

Upper management things, especially since "Open Roads" became part of the Q-Free family, can be a bit mysterious. There are still growing pains related to that acquisition. Not all managers are as reasonable as the ones I had. I know others' who have left didn't have the positive experience I had. Because of the challenges of the industry (ITS) the customers are generally difficult to deal with. In response to that and deadline pressures, tech debt that slowed us down tended to get pushed along instead of resolved. This in turn puts people on certain projects, with certain levels of authority/responsibility in unreasonable positions.
