Pros

Technically excellent. Reviews are bogus posted engineered to be positive instead of the negative. Keep up the good work. Good compensation.

Cons

Very few projects and mostly for a few large customers so you have to leave to get variety.

Pros

I must write at least five words here. Ok, here are six. Absolutely none. Absolutely none. Absolutely none.

Cons

If I could give a zero for all ratings, I would. Management were utterly full of themselves and outright abusive - the CEO in particular. I was programming in older languages prior to working for these people, and wanted to work for them while also updating my skills. After some time of working for them, I asked for that opportunity. I was told flat out that I wasn't up to snuff to "bootstrap" my way to learning newer technologies etc. My gender seemed to be the problem. To prove my resourcefullness and underscore my intelligence, learning and adapting skills, I had modified a wiki CRM to work as a form of ATS for their hiring process. One of the then owners requested white papers on what I had created. I did all of that work, provided to him, and he proceeded to steal my work and put HIS name on it. I saw it on his desk one day. I was furious and apalled, but could not risk losing work at that time, so I had take it in silence. They are a truly DISGUSTING self-important group of people. The entire management team at the time treated me like "the help".

Pros

You will probably be placed onsite at a major financial institution where you'll see what it's like to work for them: lots of training available, meaningful bonus, fun sprints, social events, clear promotion process, diversity schemes, generous maternity/paternity package, good communication and support around covid.

Cons

You get none of these things working for Lab49.
