It's fine

Pros

- Majority of employees were down to earth and easy to get along - Dog friendly office - Decent awarded PTO and benefits

Cons

- Below market pay and little / no mobility for pay raises. Manager explicitly told me that pay raises were never going to happen. - Inconsistent in who they allow to be remote vs. mandated in-office. - There have been two rounds of layoffs within the past year. DeveloperTown apparently had a more lax and fun atmosphere in the past, but that was not the case during my tenure and imagine that it has only diminished further. - Can be a high-pressure environment due to the nature of consulting.

Pros

An exciting culture and the constant willingness to change and adapt as the company grows. Leadership is willing to try unconventional approaches to compensation and benefits. Being a part of starting new projects and businesses was fun and exciting. You can get a taste of what it's like to be an entrepreneur without necessarily having to take all of the risks. Its not an "open office" concept with a bunch of cubicles, so you're actually able get work done.

Cons

DeveloperTown is a consulting firm. The workload and the flow of work can be frustrating to keep up with. There is a weekly billable hours goal, but the law firm model of annual billable hours might allow better flexibility to the employee to manage their own time. Because leadership is willing to try new benefits/incentive structures, things change often. This was an advantage to the firm at a smaller size, but the annual process of learning and dealing with these changes was a little annoying. The houses are a nice idea, but the uniqueness wares off. Its a nice idea and customizing your own spaces is great, but traditional offices (not cubicles) would be just as effective.

Pros

Working at DT provides you with exposure to clients in a variety of industries - you're constantly getting to work on a new challenge and learn about new business models. Management goes out of it's way to spoil the employees - everyone has a mini house for an office, free soft drinks, and very flexible vacation policies.

Cons

During my time the firm went through the typical growing pains you have with any growing company (long term strategy, benefits, etc)
