Pros

Great people, friendly atmosphere. Actually use their interns instead of making 'intern projects' that get thrown away. Whatever you make will in fact get used by your team and most likely other teams in the comopany. Decent starting wage ($20 hr). Very easy to come back to if you leave the company to focus on schoolwork or take another job.

Cons

Mundane. No hard deadlines and very low expectations of projects led by interns leads to very low motivation to finish said projects. Compensation and Salary is set in stone. Fresh graduates hired as software engineers are given 60k a year, no exceptions. Regardless of how knowledgeable said graduate is

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
