Pros

The environment in UL Rails Development is far from what one would expect from such a corporate setting, the management is relaxed and friendly, the environment is nice and challenging, and you have endless freedom to take whatever path you want to solving a problem. At the time of writing this review (June, 2015), the Rails team is about 5 months old, so we're still growing and defining the preferred methods and teamwork strategies for Rails development, which in turn results in a very rewarding Agile enviornment.

Cons

The downside of the team being so young is that the salary is below average for a typical Rails Dev job, and the location is on the inconvenient side.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
