Pros

I had a lot of freedom, got some pretty great experience here, dropping into the very deep end of the pool of information technology. I had previously had zero job experience in technical support or any kind of development, and wound up doing extensive support for a wide variety of things, and acting as lead / sole developer for one project.

Cons

I got to take on any project I liked - because the company was totally disorganized. During the six months that I worked here, I created most of the documentation the company currently uses (to my knowledge). Here's a tip, kids: if someone's trying to hire you to pick up a project built by another developer, and you ask him, "So, what version control are you using?" and he goes "What's that?" and he's been the lead developer and CEO of the company for ~20 years and is currently the only developer involved, that's your cue to RUN LIKE HELL. I sure wish I had. Also, the organization is so small and relies so heavily on burning through temporary workers that there is no opportunity for advancement and extremely high turnover.

Pros

I enjoy working at Odin. Employees are give the freedom to work on whatever projects they like. Established company so there's not a ton of stress. Fantastic work life balance. A close-knit team that enjoy working with each other.

Cons

Eccentric desktop apps. Lack of communication from certain remote employees.

Pros

People were nice and my coworkers were good at working as a team.

Cons

The boss was open to new ideas but didn't care to pay people for the job they were doing. He also offered less money to start to the female employees then the male. When I was going to go full time he refused to pay me as much as I was making as a contractor let alone the fair rate for my work.
