Pros
- Smart, friendly coworkers who are good at getting things done - Developer-oriented workplace - Great meals that are highly discounted (although not free) - Cool campus with lots of art - Great on a resume, especially if you stay in the Madison area
Cons
- Many strict, inflexible processes. Deadlines were automatically set as soon as you started working on something, and you had to talk to a team lead to change them. I was on a big team; I think some of the small teams were better. - Fairly long hours, and before deadlines all developers had to stay till 9 pm some nights regardless of what work they had to do. - Long commute if you want to live near Madison itself. - Outdated technology. I didn't mind Mumps, but VB6 is terrible. Hopefully they've made progress on the transition to C#.
