How employees describe working at Happy Cog

It is a great deal of solitude, ideal for some people.

Like a lot of agencies, it's often times about quantity over quality. You're often judged by how many tickets you can get out the door vs how well built and maintainable the code is. Amazing developer culture and team, but their hands are tied by speed and constantly having to worry about hours.

Lately everyone seems overworked, and exhausted. Standup meeetings are super quiet. Partners and managers blame covid. Super weird that nothing has been said about Ukraine or overall mental health or whatever. Company motto is people first, but I don't see it in practice. Other depts may do better.

I logged time to 12 different projects today. Higher than an average day but not by much.

Since covid not any different than most places probably, just do my work, hardly talk to anyone

    Early HC years were great. In 2013 when the company started losing business and talent, the vibe slowly became miserable with process new processes implemented poorly and resources stretched thin. Very much a 'good 'ol boys club' vibe. Not particularly friendly to women.

  • Alot is made of Diversity, but white tech bros run the show. I hate to think this wya, but pro-BLM statements and the like look like pure PR. I never saw the commitment in action.
