Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, casual dress, fellow employees are nice

Cons

The company's primary mission is software development. The Managed IT department was an afterthought by the owner and it shows. No interest is shown in the department and the owner has taken a hands off approach and let an unhappy manager get away with being rude and verbally abusive to customers as well as employees both in and outside of the department. This has led to high turnover rates within the department. Very little, if any, documentation. No direction, no standards, no vision. Cables throughout building and in PBX room ran in a haphazard, unprofessional manner to the point of embarrassment to anyone with IT experience. There is no pride in workmanship at all.

Pros

Everyone is really nice and welcoming. The work is interesting and keeps you guessing.

Cons

Agile but not agile. Structure for prioritization of tasks. Using tech stack that is not getting any more updates.

Pros

- Long running professional relationships with the team - Nice break room - Personal Trainer - Thorough QA team - Fun for the first few months

Cons

- Horrible and useless health benefits - Uncompetitive pay scale - Raises uncommon at best - Promotions almost non existent - Extremely disorganized and difficult to please upper management - Owner tended to play favorites with his "in crowd" managers, even when they were inept at their jobs - Ridiculously high turnover. The entire engineering department turned over in less than 2 years - No formal training opportunities - Married to the Microsoft tech stack, zero consideration for any tools not built by Microsoft directly - Zero major releases and only 2 minor releases during my 2+ years. It's a software company. This is completely unacceptable - Once anyone shows even the least bit of initiative the management gets paranoid about losing their jobs and make life miserable for their teams
