Avantages
This review is long over due. I was a former employee at GPS Insight, and it is a great place to work with a great environment. The founder Robert Donat is a passionate owner who cares for his employees and company. Gary Fitzgerald is a competent compassion leader who is thoughtful to staff's input. The talent that GPS Insight tends to acquire is top notch. It was intimidating to work with some of the brightest development minds I have ever worked with, with my over a decade experience in the field. Some of the colleagues I have worked with are still part of my circle. There is a strong community with in the company. I was around when you use to get free Phoenix Suns and other event tickets. Not sure if they still do that now, but just shows the effort with team building management would take with the company.
Inconvénients
When I was working there, there was a huge shift in direction. So ideologies like agile with expanding corporate growth hit GPS Insight pretty hard. If you are more keen to small startups and more leeway, GPS Insight is definitely more enterprise. GPS Insight works hard and plays hard. If keeping up with excellent work is something you struggle with you may want to sharpen your skills before joining the team. Especially from a dev stand point the talent pool really had no junior devs. All the devs I would consider were senior.
