Good being there - Software Developer AnywhereWorks Employee Review

You have the ability to create your own schedule, you have the chance to meet various people from all over.

You have to be very quick, unless you will not be able to follow pick the schedule that you want.

Remote work, good coworkers, opportunity to learn sales and customer service skills.

Micromanagement, excessive monitoring, focus on activity metrics over results, inconsistent coaching. I worked for AnywhereWorks for many years and was a top performer for much of that time. Earlier in my career, I felt trusted to do my job and focus on serving customers. Over the last couple of years, the culture shifted significantly toward monitoring and micromanagement. Performance seemed to be measured more by activity metrics than actual results. There was heavy tracking of schedules, time away, calls, and other daily activities. Even small things, like running a few minutes late to lunch because you were helping a customer, required additional steps to have your schedule adjusted. It created a stressful environment where employees often felt watched rather than supported. One of the most frustrating experiences was receiving coaching from leadership that was based on incomplete information. In my case, customer communications and notes were documented in the CRM, but leadership did not always know how to locate that information before providing feedback. This led to conversations that felt disconnected from the actual work being done. There are still good people throughout the company, and I learned a lot during my time there. However, the increasing focus on monitoring, activity requirements, and micromanagement ultimately made it difficult to stay engaged and do my best work.
