Pretty decent place to work

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Performance is rewarded in most departments. Management very understanding about family related issues (balance between work and family) Executive management good about sharing goals/progress with employees. Very forward thinking. Wide variety of technologies used, flexibility in location (several office locations and telecommuting)

Cons

Some areas have significant technology debt, so developers may end up supporting older technologies. Some managers spend too much time micro-managing. Some processes seems to exist for the sole purpose of maintaining the process. Otherwise they serve very little business need. Pay does not compare well with jobs in city/western suburbs.

Okay company, nothing to stick around for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Casual jeans were a pretty nice addition, but I'd like to see a true casual dress code instead of "please wear jeans with your dress shoes".

Cons

Work/life balance is decent, depending what department you're in. Some areas work more OT in a week than a normal department does in a month.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people are friendly depending on the department. Depending on who you know, you will be allowed to move up in the company. Very understanding about work-2-life needs when it comes to scheduling and/or working from home. You can learn a lot about technology. No traffic to deal with at the location. Huge property and easy parking.

Cons

Inter-departmental communication is minimal. Raises are small. Some managers care more about profits than employees. Few mistakes are allowed.
