Pros

Free Friday lunch. Opportunity to achieve a lot quickly. Little to no red tape to jump through. Most team memebers are pleasant to interact with. If you like being left alone to code in a library like environment, this may have some kind of appeal.

Cons

Rigid schedule of 8:30-5:30. Flexible scheduling in the sense that you can come in anytime before 8:30 and leave anytime after 5:30. Codebase/technologies used looks like it was written in the 90's and the coding standards came with it. There is no career pathing available. The primary method of advancement within the company appears to be largely through attrition. Inexperienced leadership drives poor design, principle, and general discontent within the development teams. Lack of understanding the implemention of the product's requirements is a huge issue. Requirements rarely ever have any face-to-face discussion that includes developers.

Pros

Pay and benefits were okay.

Cons

Management is full of egotistical and horrible people. I've witnessed upper level management literally screaming at lower level management over trivial things/things out of their control, I've witnessed lower level management berating employees for things they are not properly trained on, and management threatening the jobs of employees is a regular thing here. Various departments are worked to the bone and understaffed. Company went through a shady buyout where the owner felt necessary to tell staff the buyout was completed effective the day before the announcement. Shows how much they care about their employees, right?
