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.
