Pros

Although it has recently been acquired by a larger organization (ION), Lab49 maintains a culture of a small software consulting company. Engineers get to work on a wide variety of technologies building software for its capital market clients. Interesting and challenging work, competitive pay, good work/life balance. Most engineers get the chance to change projects several times a year, which allows you to learn different technologies and problem domains and work with different teams. Ample opportunity to stand out and be recognized

Cons

Communication from top-level management could be better and was lacking during the ION transition where there was some confusion. Things have improved on that front.

Pros

- worked here with some of the most talented people I've met in the city - NY office is beautiful, fantastic view - company events are nice - support for international workers with I, H1B, O1 visas and green card applications

Cons

- extremely hard to get a raise - morale has been tanking because of mass layoffs - everything has to go through the CEO, who takes a very long time to sign off on anything
