Pros

Regular pay check. Paid time off. Big company with insurance benefits. Has some decent training for new employees. Not many.

Cons

Management treats you like dirt. They track you on your cell phone and iPad. They read all your emails and listen to all your calls. They call customers to verify that you actually met with them. They flat out lie to customers. Office is downtown. Parking is $12 a day, not covered by CenturyLink!!!

Pros

Very Agile, Opportunities to cross train, Peers are very helpful. Fun environment if you're on the right team.

Cons

Not all teams are embracing the agile methodology. Development is being dragged kicking and screaming back into the corporate red tape. Lots of departures as a result. Constant Re-orgs. Vision for what the product should be keeps changing. Fragile legacy infrastructure.

Pros

Work with some good guys. Easily make $100k a year with forced OT all year long. Never a dull moment

Cons

Management is the worst. The people running this area should be fired. Absolute wastes of oxygen. Beatings will continue until the moral improves mentality. Unifying principals are a joke.
