Pros
The only real pro of working here is that they provided a paycheck on time every two weeks. Also, my team and co-workers were nice as well. But this can vary radically depending on who your manager is. Just read other people’s reviews for context. The work itself is easy which means you tend to stagnate fast working here.
Cons
There are so many cons where do I begin. The biggest one is how upper management feels the need to micromanage your work hours despite being a salaried employee. If you show up 5 minutes late to work or back from lunch you get an email with your manager and the CEO CC’d in it. You could work an extra 30mins every day and you would still get that email. Which brings me to my second point the hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm no budging. Want to work and extra 30mins everyday so you can get off early on Friday? Maybe even skip lunch so you can leave an hour early? Nope, you will be dinged for not working a full 8 hours any day of the week. Another thing they do that makes it feel like a prison is they will send their little administrative slaves around the building to check if anyone is on their cell phone. Even if you're just glancing at it to check the time or respond to a quick text you will hear about it if caught and it will go on to your record for review if you stay long enough to get promoted. Now on terms of tech stack and what you will be doing. This varies widely between teams but for me we were working with depreciated languages trying to support a deprecated browser that no one uses anymore. There was really no experience gained from me working at this job because of the weird set of languages they used. You couldn't even use stack overflow if you got stuck because the languages and frameworks were so obscure. The source control is honestly the worst to, there is no overhead so you are constantly fixing bugs that you have fixed previously because they have no formal test plan. Overall, one of the most unprofessional software jobs I’ve worked. The pay is way below industry standard, which is funny because the company made a deal with a local Mercedes dealership that advertises to your face right when you badge in (Not Joking). Yet no employee other than upper management could afford one on the salary they pay you. In the end try to stay only a year if you have to, because otherwise you’ll be pretty unemployable after multiple years of using depreciated languages and bad coding standards. You'll also be extremely unhappy which you’ll soon realize from the vibe you get off the long-term employees.
