More about working in Technology at PulsePoint:
We?re small enough you can own something and have a direct impact, but big enough that you don?t have to go it alone. We care deeply about quality and doing the right thing, but have a strong focus on business value and time to market ? and believe that focusing on the first part enables the second. Tech staff have technical management (who are technical and write code), as well as direct access to business, product, and operations (and they have access to us). Lastly, our Sr. Engineers have lots of empowerment and freedom of action (but we don?t water down our responsibilities or expectations)
Tools we use: SQL Server, MySQL, Vertica, Hadoop/Pig/Hive, SAS, Qlikview
Practices we?ve adopted: TDD/unit-testing, continuous integration, code-reviews, Scrum
Current Projects: cloud-computing, event-driven IO, self-healing systems, analytic s
We like open source: Spring, Hadoop (we run the NYC Hadoop Meetup), MySQL, Glassfish, Linux, Memcache
We have rules around meetings ? to keep them short and useful
Tech staff get fast boxes, with multiple monitors, and can choose Windows or Linux
We keep a library of technical books (several hundred)
We have the usual coffee, tea, sodas, snacks, socials and events
We also believe that good balance outside work produces good work, so have:
Sane work hours (with flexible scheduling)
Real salaries, real benefits
Decent paid vacation (which your manager will make sure you actually take)
