Pros
Friendly work environment. All employees are aware of the stressful nature in the office and sarcastically joke of how things need to change, lightening the mood for a bit. Casual dress code is nice as well. 4% 401K Match.
Cons
People are in positions that have no ability to be in the position they are in. Many times during project meetings the people leading the meetings do not have any idea how the project should function. Project Managers rarely stick to the documentation specs. Changes to the project/software are constantly changed on the fly because someone higher up wants it to look or feel that way, leading to limited development, testing and updated documentation. Many projects have the "Just release it” mentality. Meaning the latest project will be released just to hit the release date deadline and deal with the defects after production. End-to-end testing is rare due to tight deadlines and constant changes to functionality. Projects are rushed when they need to be thought out more. Things may look good on paper but that doesn't mean that type of functionality is possible. Barely any internal advancement and minimal bonus (if any), cost of living expenses are non-existent. GTL has employees who work very hard at their job and do not receive any kind of incentives or grateful gestures for working hard. If you work hard and do a good job, you get more work thrown at you.
