Experiences at D.A.K.C.S. Software Systems

The great people I worked with--both clients and coworkers.

We had our share of fun. On slow days the technical support room is the place you'd likely get shot with a rubberband in the hind-quarters if you weren't careful.

Hike, ski, cycling, go home to family (it's in Utah).

Was recruited from my job in the bicycle store. The Technical Director of the company came into the bike shop, I worked on a bike for him and he mentioned to me that I should look into working in Software. I called him a month later and was given a job.

Better communication from the top down, but as I understand things now, they have improved that already.

Technical support was a shared room with work stations for about 9 people. There were no partitions, but we kept it casual and would play around and laugh with each other when time permitted.

Generally an hour...depending on how good you were at policing yourself. I used to read on my lunches, but sometimes a group of us would go for a hike in the mountains across the street from the office.

Business casual. I got the impression several times that they wanted people to dress more business-like, but it wasn't heavily enforced and often people would wear jeans.

They take a while, but you can certainly move up in the company. If you are a hard enough worker you will be recognized for it.

Basic interview with a hiring manager and then they have you take a technical exam that gives them an idea of your programming and technical knowledge.
