Pros

Friendly people, plenty to work on, decent pay, great childcare and paternity benefits, high 401k match

Cons

Never felt comfortable asking questions, always felt on my own with code I didn’t understand or know what it was for Management making a lot of changes that show distrust in their employees (more time in office and more strict time tracking) or cost cutting (changing a $300 annual health credit into an overpriced gym membership everyone hated) Not much opportunity for advancement, company is in cost cutting mode and limiting lateral moves or promotions, Seems like they’d rather spread those jobs around to other team members or hire cheap 8-10 month contracts to avoid raises or paying out more in benefits

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
