      Pros

      Benefits, Work/Life Balance, On site gym, and rec area, cafeteria, flexible hours for coming and going.

      Cons

      Location, Olathe is pretty boring and traffic from KC to HQ is awful. Work is pretty tedious and repetitive, no learning or progression of your skills as using outdated hand rolled version for cartography software. Sometimes it was so slow you struggled to find and work and look busy. A lot of the people working there are pretty demoralized and unenthusiastic. Relatively low hourly pay.

      Pros

      Work-life balance is fantastic. Flexible hours, easy to truly leave work at work, and fitness breaks are encouraged company-wide. Path of advancement is very clear and objective - if you meet the goals, you manager sends it up for approval and you move on. There are advanced paths for both engineering and engineering management.

      Cons

      Consumer-side developers are constantly putting out fires. This is mostly due to poor internal documentation. According to management, the short time-to-market means documentation and code comments are a luxury.
