Here’s what some of our developers have to say about working with

Excelisys:

“I used to spend a lot of my time looking for development work or

chasing down clients who owed me money. In between, I’d squeeze in

the time to do the actual work. Even though I charged a decent hourly

rate, I was really making much less since I couldn’t work 40 hours a

week, let alone 20. Excelisys has allowed me to focus on what I

really love most: creating, designing and programming. I don’t have

to wear all those other hats anymore; instead I have more time to

work and earn a living, plus more leisure time to spend with my family!”

“Since joining Excelisys I’ve learned so much. I used to think I was

a pretty good programmer; they must have thought so too since they

hired me. But now I’ve become so much more valuable! It’s not enough

to know how to program, you’ve got to know how to get the customer

excited about the work, show them your passion. Before, I used to try

to impress them with some wicked code I wrote. But since it’s hard to

see what’s under-the-hood, that wasn’t always enough. Being part of

the Excelisys team has taught me not only how to be a better

developer, but how to present my work with much higher value and keep

the customer steadily satisfied and confident.”

“I’m proud to work with Excelisys. They’re not just another meat

grinder looking for “code monkeys”. They are the real deal. They

truly care about their customers, AND their developers!”
