Pros

Everyone I work with is smart, engaged, and interested in doing high quality work. My day to day experience is fun and full of laughs. I am learning faster and more deeply than ever before in my career. I am grateful for having found Asynchrony. The combination of work environment, people, and benefits add up to the best job I've ever had.

Cons

If you are averse to charting your own course you probably won't thrive here. Teams are responsible for choosing the tools and methods we use. It means we have a great deal of control over the development process. With that control comes an expectation of serious consideration and thorough examination of options.

Thanks for the comments, and we're grateful to have employees like you working with us! We are acutely aware of the importance of maintaining the culture as we grow. We have started by focusing on the onboarding process, allowing nearly all of our project team new hires to spend two months on a low pressure internal project to give them a chance to learn who we are before they join one of our client teams. While they are on this team, they also get about two weeks of training in Agile philosophies and technical disciplines, and these classes are constantly being refined to better meet our needs. We've been executing this program successfully since late last year and have already seen it bear fruit in better integration of new hires with our teams. Keeping our culture needs to be something we're all committed to, however. Don't allow your team to compromise on delivery without discussing what you see and making sure everyone understands the risks. Hold each other accountable to treating your teammates with respect and keeping expectations high. Never stop seeking ways to improve. If everyone commits to keeping this a great place to be a software developer, we're going to have a much better chance of continuing success.

Good Old Boy System

Pros

-Cheap benefits -Nothing else for pros.

Cons

I agree with all of the comments that this company is a good ole' boy system. If you don't live in St. Louis, brown nose your manager, be a family member of the "elite" then you will be cast aside until they drum up some bogus poor review to get rid of you. Make sure that you say yes sir to everything that they say and agree to all changes, NEVER question their authority on anything! Their "culture" and "core values" are a sham that they feed people but you will only be sent to the fire. Professional Services is a joke and you will only get anywhere if "they" like you. If they don't they will spread false rumors about you, gossip about you and then stab you in the back. Stay away unless you like high-school rumor mills, gossip and grown men acting like school girls. They spend more time covering their own butts and throwing people to the curb.
