Pros

Source Web Solutions is led by a very fair and courteous owner and his son, whose comitment to their employees is evident in how they manage their office. The team eats lunch together every day, and team building events are often held on a weekly basis. They maintain relationships with past employees; I left Source for personal reasons at the end of 2017, and they have been gracious to keep in contact. The team itself is composed of equaliy courteous developers, and the environment is generally supportive and open to alternative ways of solving problems and improving processes. Codeing standards are upheld well, and senior developers are gracious when reviewing code and mentoring younger developers. My first day at Source Web Solutions, an issue with one of their applications resulted in 100+ automated emails not being sent. We spent the next hour or so sending these emails manually for the client. Source is earnestly committed to providing solutions for their clients, and I will always hold that level of commitment as one of their greatest strengths.

Cons

It is important to note from the outset that Source is aware of most (if not all) of these issues, and is continually tring to improve in them; as much as anything they are problems of the industry; unfortunately they are issues none the less. The size of the firm makes it difficult for Source to mitigate risk, resulting in an often stressful environment and often limiting the companies ability to adapt. Due to the quickly evolving needs of clients, developers are often (almost constantly) having to make trade offs between the long-term sustainability of an application and meeting short term goals, which can be discouraging and cause friction within the workplace. The primary language of the team (PHP), can quite confidently be said to be on decline, and work on legacy applications has made it difficult for Source to evolve into newer proramming paradigms (though this may be changing, as I hear they have a NodeJS application in the pipe). While this is not a major issue in and of itself, it is an important factor to consider for young developers.

Pros

- Management will always listen to your feedback and everyone treats each other like a family. - Since the company is small (around 10 devs), you can learn a lot of things, from frontend to backend, and devops if you are senior.

Cons

- Unlike big company, they don’t have policy and procedures for everything, so you might have to work with management for some work issues.

Pros

- I have learned an incredible amount about coding and administration from this job. You could say I went from 0 to Web Developer in my time here so far. - The fact that this is a small company gives you a huge leg up when it comes to being a web developer. Each of the developers here had to learn everything about server management - from frontend design, backend logic, database design, server admin, version control - everything was shared equally by all developers. I don't think I would get nearly as much experience in these things if I was working at a much larger company, where they would most likely force you to learn a very small component at a time. - My coworkers are great, I really enjoy going into work every day. We have a really great environment. - The company looks out for me - they really try to personalize our jobs and they offer many side benefits - we go out to baseball games and hang out together, and often have lunch paid for. I feel like I can be honest with my boss about any concerns. - Everyone that works here is very encouraging and never arrogant - we always ask each other for help. I felt like I always had my coworkers by my side to ask for another opinion. - Regular raises and bonuses. Loyalty is really important to build over time with this company, and they will reward you for it.

Cons

Few vacation days per year No health benefits
