Pros

Close relationships with co-workers was the best part, I was fortunate to have a good working relationship with most people I encountered.

Cons

Lack of honest communication, too many changes without real explanation. Those in hourly positions often felt out of the loop and disposable. Often heard comments from others about "Mark and his buddies in Park Ridge" and the benefits they had as compared to those in OKC and elsewhere.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
