Pros

I believe that the Novacoast culture is unique. Not many companies can provide a relaxed, supportive, challenging and energizing environment. The culture encourages individualism, but but with a whole support staff at your back. Everyone is willing to try something new, to help and support who you are. Not many companies are structured so that you can make as much money as you want.

Cons

I haven’t found a downside yet. Consulting can have it’s challenges and thus Novacoast isn’t for everyone.

Pros

Friendly people. Family business. Competitive pay. Rapidly growing. They give you the skills to pursue an engineer path without formal education but not without critical thinking skills or logic. There is room to thrive and grow here.

Cons

Really sad it didn't work out here but the position I took was a poor fit for what I ultimately wanted to do which was Web Development. There were expectations for you to know things about the company that were never really elaborated on or taught.

Pros

Great company culture; very relaxed, great co-workers, work from home, and you get to pick most of the hours. Additionally, since you're working as a consultant you get to learn a bunch of different stuff so you wont get bored. The pay is really what you make of it. Since it's a commission based model, if you're very dedicated you can make quite a bit of money. If you take the casual route like I did you still make a really comfortable salary. Despite working on my own for most of the time, if I ran into any trouble you could just find out if anyone on the team knows the technology you're working with to ask for some help, or even send out a mass email to the team. You're essentially working as a contractor without the hassle of finding clients or dealing with legal stuff. It's good experience if you're coming out of college like I did. You get a taste of what it's like to work with a smallish software company mixed with a corporate atmosphere which comes with the clients.

Cons

In my experience, I didn't really have much leadership; however, I thrive in those kind of environments. If you need someone guiding you a lot you might not be able to handle it. Everything I learned was essentially learned on my own(however, there are tons of experts on the team and you can always ask for help).
