Pros

They use leading edge tools and offer flexible hours. The CEO is honest, impassioned, and believes in the product. They prefer to hire colleagues of current employees.

Cons

Methodology used is waterfall, disguised as agile. Product is consistently late. Environment is very political, the opinions of the friends of higher-ups are favored. People back-stab and at times even refuse to talk to each other. They do not give employees any direction, feedback, or performance reviews, you either stay, leave, or get promoted, based on your own instincts and ability to figure out what they want. They do not require long hours, but seem to appreciate it. Turnover is extremely high (over 50% per year). High quality work and long-term dedication is at best not acknowledged, certainly ignored, and can lead to being taken for granted.

Pros

Great developers, they were some of the best in Omaha at the time. Great medical benefits.

Cons

The name is a pretty big con. You really don't know who you work for, the company goes under three names. D3 Banking seems to be the most prevalent, then D3 Technology, and finally Lodos Software. Upper management promised deadlines over a year in advance when the team consisted of completely different developers, 80% of the team left at one point (The company has a very high turnover rate). In order to stick to the timelines promised over a year prior very long days (12+ hours) and weekend work were HIGHLY Encouraged (required). This made work life balance pretty terrible. The company offered unlimited vacation, but employees were guilt-ed when trying to take it. CEO can be abrasive, and unprofessional at times.
