Pros

+ Industry leader + The company is growing, so plenty of room for personal career growth + Surprisingly talented development teams (for the most part) considering geographical location + Willing to hire out of school + Agile development philosophy + Fairly relaxed for a development environment + Good benefits package + Work from home once per week

Cons

- Not everyone you're working for/with/under values your opinion - Development salaries are well below the norm - Starting tester and starting programmer salaries are pretty much equal - Salary growth is minimal for most, developers will likely never make a tech industry standard - No effort to balance existing employee salaries when raising starting salary - Flagship products lack early direction, forcing reactive development effort - Working with a team that cares can be hit or miss - Management/HR is slow to react to under-performing employees

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
