      Pros

      Very flexible timing, good salary

      Cons

      Nothing to learn. No respect. No team work. Everyone wants to get out of trouble and for that they keep blaming to others.

      Account Management Programmer/Entry level Java developer - high stress, good work environment/perks

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - casual work environment - good coworkers - beer in Friday afternoon meetings - reasonable compensation Overall there's a lot of benefits to working at Smart Data. The work environment and people you work with are both pretty great. There's no dress code, and the atmosphere is pretty casual and relaxed. They're pretty flexible about working from home and the PTO policy is nice.

      Cons

      - very high job stress - lack of recognition - not much opportunity for real development work The reason I left this job is a combination of the above factors. It's a very stressful position that requires you to manage the conflicting priorities of up to 30 different clients, maintain a 24-hour response time, and troubleshoot problems all of which need to get fixed yesterday. Also, I felt that when I was hired I was not made fully aware of how much customer support versus technical, development/design work I'd be doing. The job is more of a support technician position than a software developer position. They say that you'll be transitioned into more of a development role but I worked there for a year without taking on any significant projects. Also, don't expect to be given too much recognition for the work you're doing (which is critical to SDS's day-to-day operations). You will, however, be responsible for any mistakes you make.

      Great company culture and work ethics...

      Pros

      It is a small, lean and flat hierarchy company. A lot of projects and a lot of clients. So, each developer simultaneously handles multiple projects and customer day to day support. It could have been way too stressful if not for the very structured code base, streamlined processes and extremely experienced lead in the company. Though small, this company has full fledged processes in place due to many years of experience and refinement. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for work in Minnesota. As for the culture, it is just amazing. The two owners have kept the company lean and not take any VC funds just so that they can run it their way. It is like a family and they really care for they staff going overboard at times. Happy fridays, company cookouts and picnics, fun activities, etc. makes this company a nice place to be.

      Cons

      A lot of times, things can get stressful in spite of the good processes in place. This is due to low number of staff and too much work.
