Pros

There are few things to be said here. The developers who remain are highly skilled and are very receptive to new ideas, and SOME of the product suite uses the latest and greatest frameworks.

Cons

If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about applying to-- or taking a job from-- this company. Do not. Upper management is grossly out of touch with reality. The company is on life support. They laid off a huge portion of development (based on salary and contrarianism, not value added, so don't expect to be compensated fairly), and the devs who were kept have been actively leaving. It is not a healthy environment. You might think, "Well, let me just talk to management, I bet I can convince them that--" no, you can't. They do not listen to developer input. Any issue that any developer ever brought up during my tenure died in the hierarchy of command (which is stupidly complex in itself for the size of the company). You will lose your passion for development working here, trust me. Oh, and people are horribly underpaid. Do yourself a favor and find a more competitive industry rate somewhere else. Not to mention there's no room to grow... there isn't a defined career path for developers. Also, half the reviews on here rate highly for the generous PTO. They don't have that PTO policy anymore, so ignore them.

Pros

Advicent was great - all went downhill after they were acquired by Investcloud. Majority of the team left within a few months of the acquisition (taking the great company culture along with them). Had nothing but great things to say about Advicent... Investcloud is a different story entirely.

Cons

Lack of transparency, mainly surrounding the Covid-era layoffs. To be honest, this is fairly on-par with other Covid layoffs but was one of the only cons I could think of.

Pros

- Great people to work with. They're mostly very intelligent, fun, and willing to help you if have any issues. It may be just me but I have not seen any kind of politics being played that would reduce focus on the job. - Culture is fun and inviting. There are a lot of events and collaboration/sharing across teams and departments. - From all of my experiences, managers do everything in their power to provide employees with the necessary resources and means to do the best in their position. This is all you can really ask, you have to do the rest and work hard. - Work-life balance is extremely helpful. Per the norm, 40 hours are expected but you have flexibility in essentially choosing your hours other than core ones and being available for meetings.

Cons

- Pay is across the board lower than average. That being said, if you're an above average employee then that will not be the case. Pay is likely lower than average due to the young workforce which is primarily 1-4 years out of college. - Training: in most positions, there is not a fully developed or organized training program. This is actually a plus and minus. On one hand it teaches you to deal with ambiguous situations. But it does make some people feel uncomfortable. It does however allow the organization to find people that can thrive with minimal direction.
