Pros

40 hour week in my case (though some teams have more overtime). Work from home, except for 1 scheduled day per week. Your whole team goes in on the same day. They have an in-house metric for calculating a developer's effort. This is used to occasionally award bonuses and to track progress towards next Software Developer level. It seems to work decently well, and the minimums are easy to hit.

Cons

They are not generally very flexible about the 1 day in office per week. If you are sick enough on that day, to possibly be contagious (only exemption for COVID), but not sick enough to (in my opinion) justify the use of a sick day, they will still make you come into the office. And not allow you to WFH, to keep everyone healthy. Even though all your meetings are virtual anyways. Working hours are fairly strictly from 8-5. Some teams my differ, but that's the policy.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
