Pros

Full stack design and development, development on multiple platforms, ownership of functional areas regardless of tenure, no big ladder to climb but increasing scope of responsibilities, developers involved in design, customer presentations, feedback, vendor relations, conferences, good vacation, great salary, get to work with very smart and competent developers, small team feel even at large company

Cons

Some lack of transparency, project planning can get interrupted by company wide initiatives, some processes are clunky (though there is continuous improvement),

Pros

-Good food -Creative campus -Individual offices let you focus -Good first job. Would not stay longer than a year or two as a software developer

Cons

-Work can be boring and repetitive. Migrating your first activity to web is fun...then you realize you have to do it everyday for 100 more activities -Epic is very similar to a factory. Every employee is expendable. If you quit or get burnt out, they'll just find someone else to replace you -Everyone is too formal and professional. Don't expect your teammates to be your friends

Pretty good job

Pros

- Pay is acceptable - I try at work because I care about the work - The company strongly believes in itself and it's going places... slowly. - New development is in C# / .NET, NOT VB. - You can get a different job after working here. - I enjoy working with my coworkers - I have always had the freedom to take on interesting projects so long as those projects are also difficult - Your coworkers will try. - Senior devs don't want to leave, don't want to be promoted so never reach incompetence, and they will never get laid off, so there's a pool of knowledge about the legacy code whose memory stretches back decades. - You can just go down the hall and ask these devs why something is like X, and half the time they remember who wrote it and why off the top of their heads. - The company has been continuously improving itself for years, and you will want for nothing - great food, free drinks, and cool things on campus to see all are readily available. There is no beer, but eh, close enough.

Cons

- You'll work more than 40 hours a week, and 45 hours a week is ideal. - You'll never be paid as much as you would be paid at a FAANG (although you'll work a lot less, so...) - You can get promoted easily once and it's physically possible to be promoted twice, but more jumps are not possible. Also, being promoted means more work but not more pay, so why bother?
