Pros

Good benefits, plenty of time off, can work from home sometimes, company reimburses wide variety of expenses from mileage and tolls to any additional equipment you may need to purchase extraneously

Cons

No chance to advance vertically, managers exhibit poor communication and make questionable decisions, corporate hq seems to delight in not returning phone calls, recently implemented policy of reviewing employees quarterly and not disclosing the results; additionally, corporate policy was changed so a poor review can mean immediate termination without discipline.

Pros

Industry Leader that has solid products and draws in some talented people

Cons

Very poor communication from Executive Management. Micromanaging employees down to the minute on their lunch hours. Driving away the best and the brightest by underpaying, overworking and demoralizing them. Many promises made and broken.

Pros

Developers are fairly compensated; Management is very understanding about personal issues and personal time; Many developers are truly gifted technicians and are always willing to help fellow developers; The company gives 2 days off for both Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays; Many of the employees in the Naples office are genuinely nice people, making the work environment pleasant;

Cons

As a whole, the company's policies toward software development are very short sighted. The development process that is currently implemented is frustrating and often make a difficult job unbearable. There is an element of 'management by fear' throughout the company - and this tactic is currently being used in the Naples office. Annual reviews are not discussed with the employee before they are submitted to headquarters, so the employee has no chance to explain situations to the manager before decisions are made and ratings are assigned. From a development perspective, the system is virtually undocumented and depends on the employee's memory as to why decisions were made - often causing confusion and duplication of work. Training is a nightmare - nonexistent. Management and Business Analysts have no technical experience.
