Pros

Talented development team. Opportunities to work with large and small businesses on a variety of problems. Flexible on technology. Great benefits for such a small company. Flexible schedule and great work/life balance.

Cons

Company is very reactionary and never prepared for changes or new projects. As a developer you may get pulled any minute from what you're doing to work on a different project, which is frustrating. You're thrown in to support legacy systems with no training or documentation, also extremely frustrating. Management is too busy going after the next big project and doesn't pay attention to developers' issues. No negative consequences or training for employees who repeatedly make mistakes. Little opportunity for career growth.

Pros

Great team of knowledgeable people who respect one another and work together collaboratively to produce high quality products. Great work/life balance with flexible schedules. Spectacular company culture.

Cons

It would be nice if they paid for a higher percentage of our health benefits, but it’s still very reasonable

Pros

They are a small company the founders started in college. If you do good work you can grow and progress. Everyone is pretty cool and no egos to get in the way. No one stays late or. works weekends. They seem to hate that on a company level. Management gives you as much freedom as you want and doesn't look over your shoulder. The developers are all pretty smart and dedicated, with a few exceptions. The benefits are pretty good and so is the time off. You can work remote as much as you want even if it becomes disruptive.

Cons

The pay isn't up to industry standards. They will let people who have no experience as a project manager manage projects and the results reflect that. There are almost no processes in place and everyone codes however they like. Switching onto a project takes much longer than it should and you often have to spend a lot of time just figuring out what the other guy did. This happens a lot more than it should. Project assignments get shuffled more times than a deck of cards. There are no repercussions for those who do bad work or go over budget.
