Pros

Argo has a great work environment. They clearly strive for a good work/life balance. I most enjoy the fact that everyone I work with is friendly and we often have a good time. The development problems are difficult, which keeps me invested.

Cons

Argo uses a Proprietary Language that many people don't like.

Pros

- Argo is indeed the premiere company of its type in USA. They have a high-profile, loyal customer base. - Low level employees are given a career manager who is tasked with ensuring that the employee has everything he/she needs to succeed at the company - If you're not very skilled, then Argo will still hire you. You get paid relatively well for a low-skill position. - Staying there for a while can give you good resume material and interview talking-points when looking for a new job. - If you're rather apathetic and unmotivated, then you'll find a nice home at Argo, and they won't fire you. - High turnover rates mean you may get promoted once--regardless of performance. - Health care benefits that make sense for people just entering the workforce

Cons

- The company seems to be surviving off of its legacy and not its current successes. - Success at the company does not do much for the employee's bottom line. They are honest about rewarding performance, but the reward barely raises your compensation above the level of apathetic employees who get by on the minimum effort--even when you're in a leadership position. - Argo is unwilling to take advantage of federal educational assistance. - High turnover rates mean that important, knowledgeable members of your team are always at risk of leaving the company. - Poor benefits packages (low 401K matching--up to 3%, 7-year vestment period). New employees stand to gain more by leaving at their first opportunity than by staying. - The culture is generally negative

Pros

Salary is decent. Plenty of document templates to follow. I like my manager. Building is nice. Workout facility. Lots of free lunches.

Cons

They do not appear to follow industry standards in the IT field. More standard processes are needed. The culture is unusual...people stay to themselves and are not very outgoing. It feels a little lonely.
