Pros

Exposure to software in various industries

Cons

Moved around from project to project like a pawn on a chessboard with no notice after only a few weeks on each. Do not come here if you are a growing engineer, they have little patience for teaching. The entire tech stack is home-grown code that has no documentation or reference so you're left to simply figure out what tools are available to you on your own. Company provides no support when a new client is having trouble onboarding you. The expectation is that you are working all hours of the day - I would get action required emails very late at night almost every day of the week. On the whole, I've never felt more hung out to dry by any employer in my career. We were worked to the bone to finish a project for a client by a deadline, and then my entire team was laid off the following day with no notice.

Pros

-Very organized and efficient meetings that are usually to-the-point in terms of stand-ups and whatnot -Exposure to different kinds of projects. -Senior software engineers are extremely helpful and encouraging learning, especially if you go up to them to ask for help and questions. I never had a bad experience asking anyone for help even though I am wary of how busy they are. They are also very smart and like to talk about code! -Most other people I've interacted with are really friendly as well. -Project Managers seem to be very good at their job and delegating tasks. -Some projects are interesting to work with. -People seem to understand the work-life balance and encourage that balance, hence some of the perks like work-from-home up to 2 days per week -Work From Home program of up to 2 days per week (optional). -Great place to learn Microsoft Technology and if you are a software engineer, you can learn good software design techniques.

Cons

-Occasional late nights to meet certain deadlines. Personally hasn't happened to me much though. -Some projects are not as interesting to work with. -Almost only Microsoft Technologies are used. If you want exposure to Java or web development, be prepared to do those on the side out of work hours. -Not the most lively atmosphere but office in MA is pretty open so its almost encouraging
