Pros

Pay and benefits are great, clearly defined path to promotions and increased pay. Catered lunches are convenient and cheap. Coworkers are extremely friendly, smart, and helpful. If you have any trouble with something, just ask your team and you will get very helpful answers. Company is growing at a fast but steady pace. On-site gym with free fitness programs and sports leagues available. Recruiting/hiring process was very smooth and easy to navigate.

Cons

The work can be highly stressful as management adds pressure to release projects on arbitrary deadlines, which leads to more focus on quantity over quality. Communication to employees could improve, especially in development. Significant changes are made with little communication, causing confusion and uncertainty. Traffic at the end of the day is frustrating as everyone leaves at once. Quality of lunches have gone down over the years. Employees are a bit wasteful on Styrofoam cups, especially since they give us so many reusable cups.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
