Pros

Great environment for developers with free coffee/soda, weekly once sponsored lunch and chair massage, engineering teams work in latest tech stack(company is mostly a Microsoft shop). Provides Pluralsite membership to learn or advance technical skills. Relaxed culture and allows casual wear in office.

Cons

Relies heavily on Microsoft technologies. Though there are remote employees company in general does not prefer remote working (this may not necessarily be a con in general). Career growth is slow, doesn't sponsor certifications.

Pros

Good remote work. Full stop.

Cons

The company operates on a very tight budget and was understaffed during my tenure. As a result, you will be expected to cover 3+ roles simultaneously and work well over 8 hours a day to keep up with management’s expectations. Consider it only if you are passionate about the second mortgage industry (???). This is the only company I regret having on my resume.
