      Software Development Manager

      Pros

      Good pay. Fully agile development shop. A mix of legacy and cutting edge technologies. Opportunity to learn and a challenging job.

      Cons

      Minimal job security. Layoffs do happen in a very abrupt way. Employees simply get walked out. Severance is low and help to find another job within the company is virtually non-existent. Frequent management change. Within 2 years, I saw the executive level swapped out 3 times. Each time, there was a significant shift in strategy and culture. In the last swap, a previously cooperative management style turned to command and control, borderline oppressive.

      Pros

      Stable job, don't have to worry about lay-offs. Wide variety of technologies available to work on. Plenty of opportunities to become a domain expert and "own" an area - making you valuable to the organization.

      Cons

      Employees are always kept overworked. Constant stream of customer escalations - means all other work must be dropped. This prevents improving the products and process. Star employees are taken advantage of and expected to constantly perform miracles. Still using old technologies for infrastructure. There is resistance to implement better processes and tools (like CI). Coupled with escalations, it seems like improvements are never made. Management changes too frequently, some being forced to quit. Teams are shuffled around too much and there's no consistency across teams. Hiring and budget freeze for the past couple of years. Higher management from Islandia and corporate IT (GIS) is a joke. They want to control everything, but have no idea how to run an Agile production environment. They interfere with daily work and can't be changed.

      Not worth it

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits (not compared to before we were acquired) 401k match (on the light end though), discretionary contribution to 401 is great.

      Cons

      Awful culture, terrible communication. SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW reaction to anything. If this is the better CA I can't imagine what it was like before. Still feels like the place where software goes to die (it's definitely that for culture)
