"My favorite part is creative problem solving. Whether it's simplifying a time consuming business task for employees, creating a framework for enforcing business rules at high-level, or a resolving a complex technical problem; I like to find solutions. My least favorite is the maintenance phase, as it is provides opportunities for problem-solving, but seldom of a creative nature. I dislike working where IT is viewed as an expense to the company rather than an competitive advantage."

Application Developer at AutoCrib
in Santa Ana, CA

What do you like about working at AutoCrib?

"Great people. Work that matters...we work on some very cool projects for some very cool customers. They are always willing to invest in technology and tools to let us do the job right. Growth! We are adding people like crazy. Money is good. People are being promoted every month."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"There are many very sharp folks at AutoCrib. Bring your A Game or you won't get past the first interview. This is a team of winners."

What don't you like about working at AutoCrib?

"Our customers count on us to meet their tight deadlines and we do. That means some pressure sometimes when you don't feeling like pushing, but the team all pitches in and we get it done. I would love to earn a lot more money but only if I could keep my job here. I have worked elsewhere and wouldn't trade my job here for more money elsewhere. I've got a good thing going in a growing company."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"It would be great if I could just invent what I want and code video games...but as real jobs go, this is the best place I have ever worked. I plan to retire from here."
