Software design and quality is not the highest priority.

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good environment to work - modern offices. Latest software and computers. Healthcare and perks are good

Cons

There is no work life balance. You are considered to be on call all the time. Software development is always rushed to the point that there is rarely any design, certainly no documentation - even in the code. It is all about getting a feature in and released - testing seems to be in production.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay. Benefits. Casual work environment -- nobody cares what you wear. Can be a pretty sweet gig when you're not worked to the bone. I don't feel like a work for an evil corporation that's trying to take advantage of helpless customers i.e. Credit Card companies etc.

Cons

Poor work life balance, hope you don't like your Saturdays and when random Production issues occur. Cliquish, if you're not in with the right crowd you will no receive the same treatment when it comes to bonuses, promotions etc. If you're good at playing the game, you'll be fine. People hold on to knowledge, don't want to share.
