Pros

Performance Software has the mantra that people are first, then the work, then revenue will follow. They surprise me with how diligent they are at holding to that philosophy. Each employee is assigned a team manager who is independent of the project they are working on. This TM has the job of helping the employee with their career. They provide the ability to push back on project management if it becomes needed. They actively seek to hear the opinions of the employees and acknowledge their faults and seek to correct them. All companies have their problems but this one is open to them and seeks to correct them. The retirement benefits are the stuff out of stories. I consider it a huge benefit.

Cons

The nature of our business does not allow for top salaries in the industry. They recently acknowledged that their salaries were too low and took steps to change the course of the ships.

Pros

-Free snacks available to employees. -Some very talented Senior Engineers who are great at mentoring. -Get to work in and understand many areas of the software life-cycle. -Laid back work atmosphere. -Smart and Fun people to work with. -Get to travel to various customer locations around the globe depending on project needs. -Beer Fridays. -Overtime pay policy for salaried employees. -Profit Sharing.

Cons

-Pay is low. I look around from time to time to see if it is worth staying. This is one issue that I have heard about since before joining almost a decade ago. -Snacks are all sugar heavy junk food (other than peanuts and cheese) which does not help those on a special diet. -Must be on a project with the right people to get recognized for your work. -Must be on a project with the right people to get mentored. -Some Senior Engineers are not open to change or ideas other than their own. They may be very smart but they are very difficult to work with. Affects team morale. -Previously, one poor review from the wrong person and it can set you back a year or 2 in advancement. Although with new review process hopefully this will change. -Expect you to complete at least 45 hours of work a week without working over 45 hours. Can be difficult to do depending on the project or if work was not quoted/estimated correctly. Working over 45 hours requires approval first due to overtime pay policy so must hit the mark in under 45 hours. -Company must be profitable to get a decent bonus at end of year.

Pros

Lots of minor perks like free soda. Management cares about morale and funds periodic team-building and social activities. Coworkers are smart. Due to working in highly regulated environments, cutting corners is prohibited, resulting in actual high quality software. Projects are often short, so if one is unpleasant, it will be over in months, not years. Working for a variety of customers is nice. Good retirement plan.

Cons

The work is sometimes not very interesting. Sometimes we are brought in to rescue failing projects, which are rarely fun.
