Pros

• Great group of people (and puppies) to work with. It's a family of awesome people that I will keep in touch with forever • Everyone is genuinely talented in their respective fields • Did some of my best work here. The environment is fast-paced and encourages constant learning and experimentation • Great clients to work for and interesting projects • Transparent leadership that really cares about employees, the company, the work environment, and the future • Unlimited PTO • Top notch equipment and software • Amazing location • Diverse group of people (so rare in tech) • Tasty healthy snacks • No micro-management with regard to spyware or any corporate nonsense (not needed). Everyone loves what they do and wants to put out the best work possible • Friendly culture where everyone wants to help each other out wherever possible • The CEO is a good dude who actually knows every employee by name (and their dogs too)

Cons

The only con I can think of is that sometimes we work so hard, we forget to have fun together. Also watch out for some of the front end developers who may force you to drink tequila shots which you might regret later!

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.
