Pros

Castellan had a great culture that was very people-centric. Despite being a roll-up of Avalution, Clearview and Assurance Software, the company still felt very close-knit. Its dedication to and love for its legacy customers was genuine and the people were extremely capable and highly skilled.

Cons

As a roll-up, things were always a bit chaotic, but such is the nature of change. At times it felt as if we were building the plane mid-flight. As a result, there were myriad processes that were disconnected and at times information was difficult to come by.

Pros

Assurance is a pretty young company that was split off of Sungard Availability Services in May, 2018. The company is awesome. The people are really great, and the way we do things feels very much like a start-up. We're really writing our own rules here, and it's fun to come to work every day. I really mean that. The work-life balance is perfect. Employees are not expected to take work home with them. We work hard and are rewarded accordingly. There is room for growth, and the company is growing every day. I am looking forward to seeing where things go in the next couple of years. Assurance is changing the way it does development, which I find exciting. They are very automation-heavy in testing, so the Developers and QA engineers are expected to write automated tests (API and GUI), and even learn .NET/C#. The PMs are expected to work deeply with the customers and not so much hands-on with the development teams. This gives teams more autonomy and ownership of the products they create.

Cons

As I mentioned, Assurance was split off of a larger company earlier in the year. As such, it's still finding its foothold in the industry but things are finally starting to settle down a bit. Meaning, they just had a mild restructuring where a few product managers and QA engineers were laid off. But, it wasn't for monetary reasons, as they're back-filling some of the roles.
