Pros

Many of the employees were absolutely terrific to work with. Great people struggling against a restrictive system (though almost all of that team has since been let go). Decent work-life balance and reasonable hours. Healthcare was adequate.

Cons

I do not at all recommend working for Sawsoft. I was misled during the hiring process, low-balled on starting salary, lied to repeatedly about raises, experienced having my job and the jobs of most of my coworkers threatened repeatedly, and laid off along with about half the company after receiving only positive feedback from management. The language used will not progress your career, and interactions with management are categorically negative, even if said in a pleasant voice with a smile. I do not recommend working here. I strongly urge you to find somewhere to work where you can feel secure, be appreciated, advance your career, and be adequately compensated.

Pros

I love my coworkers and bosses! The atmosphere is relaxed. You'll want to be productive because you will enjoy it! I love the location as well, so much to do -- a YMCA, restaurants, bars, trail, movie theater...

Cons

Our work is pretty intimidating for the first week or so, but after that the intimidation clears.

Pros

Coworkers work hard with knowledge transfer. Agile work environment. Free sodas. Occasionally free lunch during "optional" company updates. Pressure makes it feel mandatory to attend. Located in a nice area with different food choices and movie theatre.

Cons

Direction is horrible. Management pushes tasks out to prevent failure of a sprint then sneak major development to happen by a team lead during a non-development Sprint. The following Sprint then gets changed to implement and unit test the functionality. This isn't the first time this activity happens. It seems to be a regular basis. Benefits are barley nominal. The CEO constantly threatens subordinates on firing everyone if sprints are not completed on time. Which goes back to management hiding tasks. The other issue is failed promises after failed promises. CEO constantly says salaries will be reviewed then keeps putting meetings and salaries off. Don't fall for this trap when being starting out. Google the company and you may see articles showing the software working in. It's not a language you will take anywhere else in your career. I'd be surprised if this company makes it to this time next year at this rate. I predict most of the developers will continue to leave as promises continue to be broken.
