      Family-Friendly Place to Work

      Pros

      They almost encourage you to take time off and be with family, and they are really trying to be cutting-edge with technology. Heavy focus on unit testing and best practices, which I wasn't used to.

      Cons

      The bureaucracy is strong, realistically that's the only problem. Sometimes the communication barrier between the two software development bases gets in the way.

      Great place to work

      Pros

      A great place to work for software engineers. A good work and life balance. Engineers have close relationship with the product team and have chances to give them feedback on the user experience. A great office looking over AT&T ballpark and the downtown. A lot of perks, a good life and work balance, family oriented culture

      Cons

      Hiring standards vary from team to team. More standardized approach is needed to keep the high bars
