What's the company like?
|
After over 13 years, SoftArtisans still
maintains the exciting atmosphere of a startup, giving employees exceptional opportunities to significantly impact the company and the products we develop. The SoftArtisans team is a close-knit group of people who like to both share new challenges and have fun. Every day, we collaborate at our desks (no cubicles in sight), over lunch, or at the large table that looks like a giant peanut - whether to come up with solutions to interesting technical issues, to discuss ways to improve the company, or to make plans for a custom built theremin. We are encouraged to pursue our individual interests, with hackathons in which we exclusively work on personal projects or pick up new skills. In one such hackathon our team members built an image preview Google Gadget, an HTML 5 uploader with animation, a new plug-in for Confluence and an Android application to get directions to and from local bars at the touch of a button. We also hold various after work activities ranging from a game of soccer or frisbee in a nearby park to kayaking down the Charles River or weekly Yoga classes and our annual company retreat. |
