Pros

- Craft beer on tap (though I always thought it seemed irresponsible to allow drinking during work hours...) - Flexibility in work schedule

Cons

- Some lead developers are highly critical and rarely ever constructive when reviewing code or helping other employees, going as far as openly mocking other developers if they violate any of their unpublished standards. - Communication and information sharing is very poor, especially among different teams. - You can (and will) be bounced from one project to the next at a moment's notice. This can make it difficult to get a handle on a more complicated project, and sometimes results in disgruntled clients. - Training/orientation is virtually non-existent for new employees - myself included. Unless you are an intern, you are essentially just 'thrown into the fire', so to speak, with minimal explanation or expectations and expected to succeed.

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.
