What to Expect
SecureMessage is changing the way people work. Your job is not your life, our employees work Monday – Thursday for 6 hours a day (9:30 AM to 3:30 PM). We offer several paid federal, Christian, and Catholic holidays, as well as Columbus Day, Halloween, Election Day, and your Birthday. Everyone has access to a flexible unlimited “take as you need” vacation policy. Additionally, our business shuts down at the end of each year in observance of Yule, usually the last 12 days of the month of December. Finally, we do not use video conferencing, our meetings are audio only. Daily interaction is primarily text based communication with real-time chat and (of course) Email!
SecureMessage is changing the way software is built. Here there are no Agile or Scrum rituals to waste your time that result in poor quality software with frequent superfluous releases and minimal impact. We schedule our new releases during the fall and publish refinement during the spring. Giving both our customers and developers ample time to plan their strategy and set expectations.
Our Interview Process:
- Resume Review
- Email Based Screening Questionnaire
- Technical Skills Assessment/Interview
- Background Check & Identity Verification
- Offer
Note: SecureMessage does not ask for references, we believe this is an outdated practice and prefer to get to know you by you alone.
