Pros

One of the best things about working at Metova is the amount of autonomy you're given. You work directly with the client and set your own expectations rather than a manager assigning you work. All the people there are awesome and smart. Really smart. Lots of great opportunities to learn and be pushed to your full potential.

Cons

Historically Metova has been pretty good about dropping bad clients, but one large one in particular seems to have evaded the typical treatment. They constantly work against our efforts to produce good work, yet rather than either fix the disconnect or drop the client, they've signed additional contracts and extended existing ones. It looks like money talks louder than employee happiness in this one instance. This seems to be the one case that contradicts my first pro. Other projects do not have this problem.

Pros

Amazing people that do crazy awesome stuff every day. Benefits are normal, pay is slightly below average, but worth the trade off any day.

Cons

Customer demands sometimes have peak seasons and there are periods of less work to go around.

Pros

. There is little feeling of management having superiority. You can walk into the president's office and talk one on one at any time and discuss any concerns you have about the company's direction. . Can create any leadership role for yourself. . Internal projects pop up often, and there are lots of people who will help you with them. . They want to see you grow, and they will provide you with every possible mean to do so. . They have your back if your clients are terrible and are too demanding These are a few of the greatest things about Metova. A note of advice, if you are easily insulted and can't take criticism very well..Metova might not be for you. If you suck at your job, they will tell you bluntly, but that doesn't mean they won't greatly go out of their way to try to help you become better.

Cons

. Sometimes management can promise clients something that they didn't confer with their devs about. . Not necessarily a bad thing, but Metova is growing so fast that sometimes things can get very disorganized. . The goal of the company can seem to be shifting more towards Profits than their motto "Creating a great place to work." . The Franklin office feels almost like a frat house sometimes, especially the second floor. Dirty, random junk everywhere, and just crammed devs into wherever an open spot is.
