Pros

The environment at AccessData is friendly and you will make a lot of good contacts in the Software Industry Pay was good Benefits were good

Cons

Another layoff happened in December 2018, due to some company financial issues There were two development teams, and most of the C#/C++ one was laid off Hopefully when they hire Software Developers again, the company will be more financially stable and there will only be one Software Development team that will work together instead of two teams competing with each other "A house divided against itself cannot stand." --Abraham Lincoln

Pros

- Good pay - Good company culture (fun outings from time to time - movies, bowling, etc) - Lots of good/talented people work for AccessData. - The technology they're starting to use is cutting edge (Angular2/4, WebPack, Node.js, etc). - There's opportunities as a developer to work on a pretty decent diversity of work and technologies (front end, back end, database, etc).

Cons

- Benefits are bad, and will get worse in 2018 when they get rid of their PPO plan and only offer HSA plans. - The owner of the company, Tim, is NOT a developer, but he thinks he is. He insists on writing garbage code and forcing it into source control, and forcing it onto the customers (which is going to cause AccessData to lose customers and brand equity). Anyone who stands up to him (i.e. the CEO, the CIO, etc) gets fired, or demoted. NOT good! And this is NOT the first time he's done it. He did it several years ago and nearly destroyed the company. They kicked Tim out, and almost made a full recovery before he came back and started doing the same garbage again. - The current CEO, Victor, is a coward "yes man" who is going along with Tim and all of his horrible ideas for fear of losing his job. He is worthless! - The board of directors are spineless. They all complain about this guy, the garbage code he's writing, and the direction he's going (i.e. tanking the company), but none of them will stand up to him, or stop him.

Having only been with the company a brief time, your perspective on our organization, our story and progress over the past 30 years is a bit short-sighted. Hopefully, you'll look in from time to time, as we have an exciting future ahead.

Pros

Fast paced, success driven environment Strong capable leadership talented intelligent coworkers challenging tasks opportunities to innovate constantly engaged.

Cons

There is a very fast learning curve. Due to the tenure of the majority of the developers, it can be intimidating, but with hard work and dedication, it is surmountable.
