However, the less the company outwardly relies on software, the more likely the environment will be very poor for software development. I've worked as the only software developer on a floor of non-software people, and I think independence is even more important in that case.
When you don't have dozens of people using the same tools, you have to make a lot more decisions—what language you will use, what compiler, what servers, etc. Lone developers need more freedom to install, evaluate, and administer software that's taken for granted in a group setting.
One difference for certain will be less emphasis on the overhead and redtape that you have to go through at a corporate software shop. You will find that you will be able to have much more granular control over all aspects of your projects.
It turned out horribly for me personally though but that just may be because I chose poorly. One HUGE con is that you are no longer tied to the bread-and-butter of the business and instead you are an administrative overhead.
Budget controllers treated me like I was personally taking money from their own wallets and proceeded to "beat me like a rented mule" so to speak. For me it was an infuriating and exhausting ordeal so you should carefully look for signs of this kind of attitude when you interview. There's already some great answers here, but I'd just like to reference a link to the transcript of the 2nd part of a talk that Joel Spolsky gave at Yale University:. When you're an in-house programmer, you never get to do things the right way.
You always have to do things the expedient way. When you develop software "products," you get to make them beautiful. That means, for one thing, that management cares about you. Personally, I've worked at both software companies and non-software companies throughout my career, and although there are always exceptions to every rule, I do agree with Joel's points as the vast majority of companies seem to be in accordance with them.
One major difference is that working at a software shop you are probably helping to generate jobs within the company. Working in the programming dept. It's a depressing reality to deal with.
That being said, an ad agency may very well be a different beast entirely. More like a web dev shop within another company, would be my guess. Well per my observations there are at least two cases when sticking with software company borders to matters of professional survival. First case is if one is totally into coding - give me At software shops, this is almost a granted, as if everybody knows how to get there because, well, because everybody is doing just that.
But outside , there is a really high risk to fail getting there. It's not because "they" don't want you to code - no they want but, but Second "deadly risk" is if someone has serious problems in communication. This may be troublesome even in software shops, right, but at least there are good chances to survive and live a nice productive life without disturbing interactions. Well except for two cases mentioned above I know no other strong reason to strictly lock self to software companies.
Now, which side to prefer? I'd say software companies are more fun to those aiming at "high marks" while outside ones give a thrill to those striving for "big difference". I think of it about like this note numbers below are invented only to simplify making a point Top marks at one side expand our understanding of professional limits, improving our knowledge of how to do things better.
Big difference at other side makes a deep impact on the company culture, improving outsiders knowledge on how to to it right. Now, if you have a clear preference for one or another, you know what side to take. Or, if you're indecisive, just feel free to swing between them as you wish.
T is part of the Support group in non Software Companies.. Software Programmers developed applications that will help the company for much better productivity,faster transactions,technical support etch I'd rather contrast working within an IS department to working in the product development arm of a company that sells software.
Just to clarify each side and give some of each, with some formatting corrections:. The company may make hardware, software, cars, or whatever but the key here is that there is an internal department that is responsible for the systems that the company uses day-in and day-out. In here there can be frameworks like ITIL that can try to bring some maturity to the processes that the department runs as part of this department is the infrastructure guys that keep the lights on and the other part is the development and analysis guys that put in improvements, enhancements and new systems.
Here projects can vary in length though in some cases in can take years to get a system fully implemented due to phases in the roll out if some big system is being replaced like a CMS, CRM or ERP. At times I have had the feeling of being a cog in a machine and at others it is rather neat to be part of the backbone of the company for the lows and highs of such a position. I don't get to brag to people outside the company too much because most of my work is on internal systems that isn't intended to be publicly accessible or viewed.
Here there can be support tickets where one may have to deal with vendors of software as someone has an issue that isn't necessarily something where it is easy to know what caused the error and so the IS department has to follow-up with someone else to help resolve the issue. In other cases it may be that some customization has to be altered due to changing requirements or business rules. Here this is working on what the company sells directly and thus there are some big rule differences. First, the customer here can't be boxed as much as the IS department case.
In the IS department there may be just a few users of a system so that governance can take care of many odd cases where if someone intentionally chooses to misuse a tool, that can't always be prevented. In the software company there isn't that safety net. If someone downloads your software and they manage to find a way to do something rather destructive with it, the company may get a big black eye for it.
In this case there can be some showing off of what I did as there may be some cool feature to show a friend or relative if they want to know a bit more about what I do. Something to note here is that there can be companies that are brought in as system integrators to put in big customizable enterprise software that work with people in IS departments on the million dollar implementation of stuff as well as those that work directly for the company making the big software itself.
There can also be application service providers that I'd put under here as they are selling a service that is built mostly of software usually. For example, Google may have an IS department as well as a number of software developers even though one wouldn't go to a store to buy a DVD of Google's software, at least I don't think I've seen that though I do know of many Google products on-line that can be used rather easily. This can allow for some specialization as it isn't likely to be as diverse as the IS department where a general application developer could support dozens of different applications.
I've been in both and would much much prefer a software company. Since your correlation to profits is more obvious, your more likely to have some proper performance based compensation and an overall corp culture that embraces a software developers personality.
Often that translates into less office politics, Dockers not required, obvious career paths, and less BS. How to Start a Business in Maryland. How to Start a Nonprofit in Maryland.
