Pros
Great co-workers that care and dedicate a lot of time to their jobs.
Cons
Company hasn't made the mindset shift that they are now in the SaaS business first - test development and scoring second. This isn't to say that test development and scoring aren't highly critical to the Questar business model, but the migration to on-line testing has been treated almost as an after thought. Often with the mentality of, well, the test is ready for print, it just needs to get on-line. The technology team (Developers, QA, IT Project Management) is often working until 3 or 4 in the morning since there was no planning done on how we think things should go and modify as we find something that doesn't work well. All too often folks are just learning what is actually needed and asking other new folks how the work gets to done; which no one really knows since almost half of the company is new. CEO has ideas of how things are and seems genuinely shocked when she hears that's not reality. It's unclear if she's that unaware or getting bad information from directors that don't want to appear they too aren't clear on what's going on. Company portrays they are Agile and building a product. There is Agile in the sense there are stand ups daily, but there is no adherence to the other Agile principles. Product development is purely reactionary to requirements that are often communicated last minute. Very little respect for work/life balance. If you have a conflict in the evening or weekend, feels like you are looked down upon for not doing as much as others.
