Pros

Convenient downtown location right next to Horton plaza. There are not many rules and work is very flexible. Some of the projects can be very interesting. Most of the technology is relatively cutting edge web or mobile development.

Cons

The projects are directionless and unmaintainable. The good old boy political system is in effect here and no one is held accountable. Meetings often consist of shouting matches and ego flaunting. There's no strong leadership to bring things back in line. The mistakes are covered up and swept under the rug. The company is also struggling. Most (if not all) clients are just friends of the president and often do not pay their bills. Despite being friends, they are frequently and understandably unhappy with the missed deadlines and shoddy product. Large projects have been cancelled outright.

Pros

Seamgen is a great budding company with a load of opportunity. There are many projects for developers to work on and enhance their skills. Leadership is good about paying for training and there are opportunities to make additional income in the company. Some clients have ample work to keep the company busy, so there is room to earn extra for additional hours. Most programmer's that work for Seamgen are solid and there are veterans in the company in which to learn. Projects range from web development, mobile and desktop and developers work closely with clients in an agile setting.

Cons

Some of the administration tasks, seem disorganized. Seems like its gotten better, though recently with the replacement of some of the administrators. The company is growing rapidly, so developers are spread thin until new developers are brought on board and up to speed. There is definitely an expectation to be able to fulfill a consulting role. Devs who haven't done consulting are not necessarily adept with dealing directly with the client, and are put in a client-facing position. As with any consulting project, there is a shuffling of developers to fill roles for new clients.
