Pros

LCS is great for starting your software development career. You’ll get valuable experience that you can leverage to help find a higher paying job when you’re ready. They started as a small company but have grown significantly recently so it can still have that small company feel at times. Most employees are very friendly and helpful. There’s a lot of diversity. At one point, the team I worked on consisted of roughly 60% minorities and a 50-50 split between men and women.

Cons

There’s definitely a group of insiders that have been with the company since before they rapidly expanded and it can feel like there’s some favoritism amongst them. Pay is pretty low comparatively. Some of the managers are hard to work for.

Thanks for reaching out. We review employee compensation on a regular basis to make sure we are competitive compared to market rates in the Cincinnati area and we make market adjustments on a regular basis. Our turnover rate is also significantly lower than industry average for tech companies like ours. In fact, what we find is that many of the people who do end up leaving LCS come back after experiencing other work environments. We rehired 18 former employees just this year!

Pros

- Good benefits - Great work life balance - Friendly coworkers and management - Fairly clean code and process

Cons

- Below market rate pay and unwilling to change - Lot of churn caused by not raising pay and hiring junior developers constantly - Lots of babysitting. Required to come into the office 2 days per week. Not allowed to bring your own mouse/keyboard to the office. Have to work from remote desktop if you're not in office.
