Pros
I started as an intern and have progressed here because I was given responsibility from the beginning which I enjoy. Many of my projects are being used in production today. I've created Ecommerce integration, mobile apps, as well as custom web applications. We have acquired a team of 8 full time professional PHP and mySQL developers who have been very successful in moving the web department forward.
Cons
In the past, the companies hires a lot of young, unexperienced developers and tries to give them an opportunity to learn and grow into a full time professional developer. However many of them are very bad developers, so they waste a lot of my time trying to teach them how to develop. The current group came to us with completed degrees and with experience, so getting much better.
