Pros

There is not much cooler than working on 3D technology and the ship building industry is amazingly fascinating. Its also not just 3D, it's 3D with a purpose. The company takes care to hire team people so the the work environment is quite congenial. People help each other rather than competing. Its a good team.

Cons

The company does not offer any help to Developers to learn more about the ship building industry. Given that we are focused only on this industry and that it would help us understand what we do, this attitude seems short sited. The argument of course is that developers need to know software development, not ship building. Development is less structured than I would like. More time in planning and designing new features would increase product quality and developer satisfaction. That fellow developers appreciate and support good design helps offset this somewhat. This is a small company that is growing so I expect that some of this will change as the company grows. Smaller companies can get away with, and often must resort to, development shortcuts. Salaries seem on the low end, even for the local market but for most developers the workload most of the time is not high pressure.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance (5 stars) Stable company: numerous customers, diversified income Interesting work A fair amount of freedom to innovate A mature company when it comes to software development: good processes in place but no red tapes A good crew (4 stars for company culture and values) Good senior management (4 stars) The company means it when it says: "We are proud to foster an environment where there is fascinating, challenging work with a corresponding respect for work/life balance. At the core of our success are the creative, energetic, dynamic people who make up the SSI team."

Cons

Compensation and benefits could be better. (3 stars) There is no technical writer so developers do all the technical writings and it shows. Revenue growth have not been as good as in the past which might be due to the recent recession. The ship building industry is lagging in technological terms.
