If in VX know how to spend hours tweaking Photoshop comps again and again fro every single client suggested change. If in Dev know .net and some CMS's, at the very least also have good js skills. Also be ready to not do any optimization for performance or UX and to be making Pixel Perfect your life."

What don't you like about working at Siteworx?

"UX, VX, and Dev never worked together and never had collaborative projects or billable hours at the same time. All Project were done in a waterfall fashion with Development happening last, after UX and VX may have gone over their contracted billable hours, forcing less time and flexibility in changes and execution from development. In Direct opposition with agile, and the parallel iterative design processes that the company wanted to move to."

"Try to actually build the processes in to contracts from the beginning and don't give developers executing all the work the short end of the stick in both time and money. Also Management actually actively fulfilling their responsibility to find employees billable hours would help morale immensely."
