Pros

- Work life balance (kinda)

Cons

- Management isn't in touch with actual developers and even when they are, management always knows better than the people in the trenches. - Too many hands in the cookie jar. Nothing ever gets accomplished and when it does it typically isn't a great product. If engineers were valued more, as well as their opinions, great things would happen. - UI is typically blamed for a reason why a product isn't delivered, not product or services. That's a norm in the industry, however, the idea that a no-code solution would remedy this is crazy. There are more core issues at TA that need to be fixed. UI is the last domino to fall. - Pay isn't on par with the industry. Based on Cedar Rapids, IA salary(?).

Pros

The benefits are quite good.

Cons

The company morale has degraded significantly with the guidance of the new CTO. He laid off 90% of the development staff (mostly senior developers) company wide in favor of Synechron consultants. He was once managing director at Synechron which is suspicious.
