Pros

It had a number of opportunities to apply yourself and gain skill experience. The development process was quite formal yet flexible if needed, which really helped create a steady rhythm of work. Through that steady rhythm many features and improvements were made which was something to be proud of.

Cons

Too often the technical debt was ignored in favor of the 'real' business needs. That 'choice' can only go on for so long before the team and product start to suffer for it, which is what I was seeing happening to my team. Likewise I believe the salaries were too low compared to the amount of work the employees were putting into the company.

Pros

Get to work with a few good developers. Emphasis on writing clean and efficient code. Exposure to a lot of technologies. Get to work on interesting and challenging problems. One of the few core software development companies in Houston. Work experience and programming skills acquired at PROS look impressive on resume. Free soda, snacks and leftover lunch from client meetings.

Cons

Bonus and salary increments are small. Benefits are average. Cannot cash out PTO balance when you leave. Typical office politics, managers play favorites. Developers (and wannabe managers) occasionally follow latest fad and start promoting new technology without giving thought to its implementation. High probability that you will get boxed in one role and go nowhere even after spending a decade there. Workload is heavy, company puts a lot of pressure on developers in the name of keeping major airline clients happy.
