Pros
* Decent pay for relatively easy work * Company is good at hiring for soft skills, so it's a friendly crowd * Benefits are good, but see the cons
Cons
* Company pitches itself on diversity and inclusion, but has no diversity and inclusion statement, EEO statement, etc. Health insurance policy had a transgender exclusion, and when I brought this up I was met with profound ignorance and incompetence, including asking if I was having a surgery and including persistently claiming that the company "supports everyone" while asking if any of my *coworkers* had been inappropriate. The only people who were ever inappropriate to me were HR and the company leadership who decided a discriminatory health care policy was appropriate. I got a new job before this got addressed; the company claimed that it was making a change while handwaving my healthcare concerns until then, but I don't know if they cancelled that change due to me leaving, so if this is something you care about, ask. * Plan to develop soft skills, not hard skills. This role uses a very minimal amount of SQL along with VB.NET and/or C#, but if you want to use those skills toward another job, expect to do personal projects to pass any basic interview questions. If you are looking for CS jobs, look elsewhere. * Expect that a majority of the work you do here will involve breaking things to learn how they work because the company doesn't retain people well enough to develop consistent, documentable standards or processes, and so hacky, inconsistent, and undocumented implementations are standard. The upside of this is that this is an area where you can develop some great hard skills, but again the scope of those hard skills are pretty limited. * Alarmingly heavy drinking/party culture. Think never-left-college levels of drinking. I was alarmed.
