“It has been a pleasure working with Atomic Object both professionally and personally. We considered a number of Rails development companies, including some big names in the industry, but the superior quality of AO's work was apparent from the beginning. We continue to be impressed by the consistent attention to detail AO has demonstrated, from the initial proposal through the discovery and development stages. Their top-notch developers, testers and designers have consistently maintained high professional standards as well as thorough and frank communication. The tight feedback loop built into their agile development methodology has allowed us to quickly iterate over feature requirements and cut down on potential rework. Their responsiveness could not have been better. As other reviewers have pointed out, AO does not just 'do as ordered'. They actively engage in finding the best solution and we have learned to trust their expertise. They truly own the project. Most of our work with AO has been done remotely, but we have not felt this to detract from the quality of interaction and progress in any way. We highly recommend Atomic Object to anyone.”

“We've worked with 5 Rails developers from AtomicObject, and all have been excellent. What we appreciate about AtomicObject are the following: * Clear and direct communication. * Not being afraid to challenge our thinking. Whether it be strategic direction, technology selection, or even website copy/text. * Pragamtic application of pair programming and test-driven development. * Pragmatic approaches to problem solving, and always willing to suggest alternatives. They do not just 'do as ordered'. * Take ownership of entire project lifecycle. * Attention to detail. * Emphasis on QA and pragmatic approach to load testing. * Excellent instincts. * Developer skill. While most developers have specific strengths, we appreciate how well-rounded the AO developers are. But, we have cetainly benefitted from specific skills, such as math/statistics and excellent User Experience development. You may not see much depth in the Realius example at face value, but there are significant background processes at work to aggregate millions of predictions and process hundreds of thousands of property listings daily. In addition, the propety prediction process is an embeddable read-write widget that enables real estate professional to accept predictions on their own domains with simple integration. It's been a fun journey.”

Originally developed with a different technical team, we decided to consolidate Catalog Choice development with AtomicObject in late 2008. The transition and handoff was professionally handled on both sides. It's never easy to pick up and own a codebase you've not developed, but AO gave very pragmatic advice about how develop tests to ensure changes we make have minimal regressions going forward. Catalog Choice receives over 100k uniques and 1M pageviews/mth. In addition, we process thousands of user requests daily. We act as an agent between our users and thousands of merchants. User requests are forwarded via email, form stuffing, and REST APIs. Whatever it takes to deliver the request. We have a significant administration area to manage the entire lifecycle of communication methods. Atomic Object made this all possible at a fraction of the cost, and a fraction of the staff of other, well-funded competitors. ”
