Pros
First off, this review only applies to InComm Digital Solutions, which is an acquisition of InComm based in Portland. Some advantages: - Product owners know what they're doing, and communicate well. Development teams are exposed to the needs and use cases of the customers we're building software for. This prevents developers building products for use cases that don't exist. - Financially stable. The company is steadily growing, and has a diverse set of customers (which reduces egg-in-one-basket risks). - Embraces fairly modern technologies as of this time. ASP.NET Core/ReactJS, application and database monitoring/telemetry, free MSDN licenses + PluralSight + ReSharper, fault-tolerant messaging across distributed services, automated deploys/rollbacks that safely ship from developer boxes to production in minutes, plus a DevOps culture that encourages teams to be responsible for building, deploying, monitoring, and ensuring uptime of their software.
Cons
- It's finance, which is not everyone's cup of tea. - The parent company (InComm, based out of Atlanta GA) is slow (2 month release cycles are not unheard of), disorganized, and backwards. - A few legacy applications that are making little money, and costing a good deal of developer maintenance time that's not equally distributed across teams.
