Pros

Relaxed work environment, generally positive people

Cons

My manager was very micromanaging and never seemed to gain any trust that his employees would do their jobs if they were working remotely. Overheard several racist, homophobic, and transphobic conversations that made me feel very uncomfortable.

Pros

- My manager was a fantastic person and worked with me closely and with great compassion during a difficult period in my personal life. - Decent benefits and salary. - Some lovely coworkers. - Actually came through on a Contract-to-Hire promise; I've seen this backfire on an employee many, many times before. - A genuine desire to invest in and grow the IT/development organization within the company. - Overall, Lamar was an extremely positive environment and, had my circumstances been different, I would have loved to continue there.

Cons

- No real onboarding process; experienced team members too busy/overworked to meaningfully train new people. - Internal development process had no real discipline or structure; this was frustrating to younger team members such as myself who had a background in modern SDLC processes. - Lots of interference and influence over IT/development process from other internal stakeholders. - Some long time team members did not make me feel welcome and treated me with a degree of condescension. - Some members of my team worked extreme overtime because they were the only SMEs on an extremely complex internal product; if the company loses any of them there will be serious repercussions.
