A great experience so far! A lot of changes and progress in the works, so naturally there are some growing pains, but we work through them and are better for it!
Good growing business that tries to put employees forst
It's fast moving. Its a 20 year old software company, so there is some legacy stuff, but they're also building lots of modern software and add new features regularly. They're buying companies, they're growing fast. It's a cool place to work

IDX: 25 TOT: 51
Who did you meet with during your interview? And how long did it take to hear back from DaySmart Software?
Met with the recruiter, the person who would be my manager and two other department heads. Took a couple of hours, lots of direct questions about how I would handle different problems or situations.
How would you compare interviewing at DaySmart Software to other places you've interviewed?
The process seemed pretty similar. I think all candidates that get pretty far down the funnel interview with the CEO, which was a new one for me. Directors and Managers I would guess meet the CEO, but Support reps do too, which I thought was different for a not-so-small company.
What's the Marketing team like at DaySmart Software?
Pretty new to the organization, Marketing hadn't been much of a distinct discipline at DaySmart in the past. Now we're digging into web analytics, SEO, PPC, marketing automation and integrated comm campaigns that are moving the needle here - we're earning respect.

We have a good group of self-starters who each have pretty distinct areas of focus, so everyone keeps their nose to the grindstone. We also meet every morning and each team member updates the group on what's happening.

There's a real team mentality here. We pull together to tackle the inbound calls and frequently find time to recommend overhauls to policies or changes to what we tell customers (to avoid problems before they become Support problems). Feels like other teams listen to us, and recognize that we speak to more customers than other people here.
What's the Customer Support team like at DaySmart Software?

Very open space, but with enough cubes, desks and tables to break up the space. Not too noisy, but not really compartmentalized like our old space.

How's the work pace at DaySmart Software?
Aggressive pace, but I don't think it's burning out anyone. It's pretty much a 9-5 operation, though there is flexibility around that. People who want to come in earlier, or stay later, do.
What are the team outings like at DaySmart Software?
It's a pretty tight environment, plenty of people hang out on their own outside the office. Stuff like occasional "Fridays out" or Halloween parties in the office definitely happen. We just had a big Open House where Ann Arbor businesses and our local customers came into the office to enjoy music, food and drinks.
What's the interview process like at DaySmart Software?
Pretty rigorous but friendly too. Met with my direct manager twice (phone then face to face) before coming in for peer interviews. It went fast (less than 2 weeks) and everybody I met asked both work and personal questions (what do you do for fun).
