Pros

-People they hire go through extensive interview process and they only hire the best with regards to personality and work ethic. There is no laziness tolerated its full throttle everyday. -Large amounts of work since company is growing drastically and keeps days steady and no down time -Friendly coworkers -Company works extensively to provide custom software that no other company can provide.

Cons

-Poor Project Timelines, projects never meet go live date and tend to overrun by months due to poor miscommunication and planning of resources -Poor listening skills on what tasks need to be scheduled for upcoming weeks via project managers or internal members of projects -Everything is considered high priority from every group there is no sense of what is highest priority for you to work on -Company takes on new projects to an extent where they do not finish old/current projects and forget about them until the customer threatens to drop the company -Your position title is meaningless, if there is a lack of resources onsite or in-house you will be assigned to do it even if you are not qualified. -Customers have to much power with regards to calling the CEO and President of Software on there cellphones to escalate some of the smallest issues -There is no work/life balance, you are frowned upon for barely showing up late but if you work 15 hour days no one says thank you or even acknowledges. If you leave when your time is up for the day everyone treats you as you don't work hard enough. -Training is lacking for new employees and new employees are thrown in headfirst to defend for themselves and receive poor feedback from customers

Pros

Good for gaining experience Free Snacks Gain one more day of vacation each year you work there

Cons

Goodness, the nepotism and favoritism of this place is crazy. CEO's daughter is allowed to work remote from Michigan while the rest of her team is forced to be in the office in Carmel. Management is a good old boys club. Has the attitude that you should be available 24-7 for work or overtime compensation or flex time. When challenged they said "That's what I had to do back in the day" like a typical boomer. Slowly has rolled back all benefits and perks of being in person in the office. I once had a dentist appointment and was asked if I cpuld just take it on my lunch break instead of working from home for the afternoon and taking it right after work. At times feels like a sitcom for a cookie cutter toxic office
