Pros

I worked in other places before being part of Lab49 and can honestly say that as a software engineer, the professional development here is significantly faster. By engaging in various projects you become familiar with various technologies, commonly cutting edge, and different business domains. You get to collaborate with senior stakeholders on the client side and understand their perspective. You also adopt a commercial mindset, that makes you very marketable. Most importantly, the people are passionate about technology and quality. There is a sense of pride of ownership, which forms a healthy atmosphere. Junior and senior engineers collaborate on a daily basis, and you keep learning new, better ways to implement tasks..

Cons

Communication from upper management in ION Group is spotty. Being a consultant does not fit every engineer. Fragmentation can be an issue.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
