Pros
Nice & talented folks overall Good perks – i.e., Free coffee and soft drinks Excellent benefits - Decent bonus, plenty of PTO
Cons
Strangely quiet – People clamped to their desk w/headphones on staring at their monitors vs. a collaborative & energetic atmosphere. IT Maturity – Tribal Knowledge is valued and rewarded internally. No functioning SDLC. Project roles are unclear. The 'bare minimum' set of deliverables are produced on projects, with zero re-usability built in. These practices will not scale to anticipated growth. Work-Life Balance - Not unusual for some IT employees to work 60 hour weeks. Micromanagement – Several one-on-ones per week, plus, several team meetings, with the smallest details of our work being scrutinized almost daily. Many starts and stops on tasks due to daily changes in priorities.
