Pros

Flexible work schedules for developers who have proven to be autonomous.

Cons

Metova has been in survival mode for the past 6 months or so after losing various contracts. Over this time period the company has struggled to bring in new clients which has lead to two rounds of lay offs (mostly developers) to attempt to bring the company out of the red. Severe lack of communication between sales, upper management and developers. This leads to terribly estimated efforts and frustrated developers. Up until about a year ago this was one of the biggest strengths of the company. Current management is actively working on trying to fix this. Morale is absolutely shot due to developers constantly being in fear of losing their jobs. Metova has lost a lot of great developers within the last one to two years due to resignations and lay offs. Due to the troubling times and lack of money this talent has not been replaced.

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.
