Pros

People are great. Codebase is okay, depends on the team. Tech stack is outdated for most teams. PHP is used for the backend. Most use React Typescript for frontend. Great benefits. Pay is great for location. $4 lunches.

Cons

Leadership at the company needs changing. Most at the top dont know what they are doing. Job stability used to be a pro, but there is no longer stability. High paced with just new grads means most code wont be scalable or performant. Work life balance is low.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
