Pros

Being a software development company, development cycles can be tough, but everyone takes responsibility, everyone helps everyone else, they care about each other, and care about the end results. Lots of potential for growth as an employee. There is movement across divisions, so someone from Support may move to Education, someone from Education may move to Implementation, etc.

Cons

Development cycles can be tough, so there can be a lot of pressure to perform and to meet deadlines.

Business Outlook

Pros

Laidback atmosphere with plenty of friendly individuals. Lots of nice perks like bagel day, in-building workouts led by a personal trainer three days a week, and everyone get's a day off for their birthday. Company has had substantial growth in recent years and is projected to continue this trend.

Cons

Would be nice to have a little bit more vacation time starting out (2 weeks), although I don't know how this compares to other companies.

Pros

The team atmosphere is great. Lots of helpful people all working together for the customer.

Cons

Some employees work less than adequately and have a sense of entitlement because of their experience or years having worked there. It can sometimes be upsetting to other employees that have to pick up the slack.
