Pros

I'd say good place to start a career except for the recent, random layoffs. Then management realizes they laid off too many people and are trying to back fill the exact same positions again.

Cons

Upper management is bad, really bad. Expect absurd project requests, tight deadlines, late nights and no recognition no matter how well you deal with all that. Though, depending on the type of developer you are, it can be easy to do nothing and go unnoticed. But the majority are treated pretty badly.

Pros

Great company, lots of perks! The schedule is consistent; busy and slow seasons make the work predictable. There is always something to do, so if you like to stay busy, then this position is great for you. The team is relatively small, so everyone is close!

Cons

No growth opportunities. Seems like the 1Stop department in general gets pushed to the side; there is no recognition for the work you do.
