Pros

Exposure to a plethora of current technologies, especially in a first job out of college Extremely talented senior level devs and architects; great mentors Hours are flexible within reason for the most part Average pay for the area at the time of my employment

Cons

Benefits might as well be nonexistent In my 3 years of being with the company, I only ever received one performance review and a subsequent raise Upper management is a glorified boys club: if you're not in the clique, you can forget about your voice ever being heard. Very toxic and lowers overall employee moral, especially since they seem to not trust the employees at all The stooge CEO was more concerned with running several failed political campaigns than running the company. He would make grand promises for the future of the company, but then stumble to even get close to meeting these lavish goals If you get placed on site for project, you can forget about seeing your coworkers. I had several people say they thought I left the company during our quarterly meetings. Imagine how disinterested I became in the company after feeling like I was on an island for months

Pros

Still have some good friends from my time there, but definitely no one from upper management.

Cons

Where to begin? The pay is laughable. I was told I'd be making a standard entry-level salary for my position but was offered over $5,000 less. The PTO and 401k plans are basically nonexistent. Incredibly high turnover rate. Management is poorly run, toxic, and condescending if you are not a member of their clique. After putting in my two weeks notice, I was immediately removed from my project and told to leave the next day. I never received payment for that time. I would have been upset if I did not want to get out of there so badly. You're nothing but a number to them. I was announced as a new employee TWICE at quarterly meetings within the SAME YEAR. After quitting, I was contacted AGAIN by a member of sales and told that "I would be a good culture fit and should consider applying."

Pros

Most of the people you talk to that are non-management are great Specifically, everyone that I talked to on the development team was great. Really awesome people and a lot of them I still talk to.

Cons

Incompetent management Low Pay Expectations of traveling on your own time Will literally compensate you with anything other than money (cheap earbuds, "free coffee") Expect loyalty from you but will literally do nothing to earn it Will put you in a silo CEO Incompetent management: Management will ask you to voice your concerns, then when you do that they will tell you that you are not cut out for the industry and they will do nothing to address it. If you screamed at the sun or talked to yourself, you will get the same results as if you talked to management. Pay: Will pay you the bare minimum and if you ask for more expect the timeline for that to take roughly two years before they even consider it. You are wasting your time if you think they will pay you more. Loyalty: Loyalty from upper management is always expected. Management will do 0 work to earn this loyalty, but think you should show it to them anyway. They think everything is a joke until you show them you're serious and then they dismiss you. Good luck with that! Silo: The company has no problem lying to employees and clients about working on client sites. They will ship you to locations by yourself. If you want to go work with strangers constantly by yourself, this is the place for you! CEO: This man believes that he can run a business because he owns a business. He will spend thousands of dollars on several failed political campaigns but will have the audacity to have management tell you there's no money in the budget. There are leaders in this world and there are people who think they can lead. The CEO is the latter.
