Pros

The interview process will be pretty straightforward. If you are lucky you might get a chance to work on the BOS framework ( their product ). If you can get good teammates for the project. Under the name of 5Y business solutions, you will be working on other projects like in a service-based company, and each project is big and will take years to complete, which is a good thing. Most of the management will be kind to employees but not all.

Cons

The thing is that you might be hired for one skill and working on some other project which you are unfamiliar with, That happened to me. Every day you have you get on 3 - 5 calls each spanning 30 mins - 60 mins ( without including sprint planning and review calls ). If you are the one having trouble working immediately after a long call, you have to consider this. On paper, you have 9 hours work shift, but the sprint calls will be taken out of your work timings, which is not even an issue. The actual problem is out of 8 working hours you spend 2-3 hours on a call and you'll be expected to produce 8 hours of output. And also please be aware of micro-management. Unfortunately, the project on which I was working, used to have no future planning. So, whatever work you do will be considered a "proof of concept". If you are planning to join the company, please know that you have been hiring under BOS or 5Y. If you ask HR, he/she will say both are the same, because they are run by the same management. Believe me, they are not the same as they say. under the BOS framework, you'll get the best managers and teammates and you'll be working on a product, which will be way more pleasant to work and you'll enjoy it. on other hand, under 5Y which is a service-based company. You have no option to choose your project. based on demand and requirement managers assign you to that project. You might also have to work on some other programming language that you don't know. And managers here are not so helpful to you, but they get the job done. You'll have a tight deadline for projects in 5Y and you need to extend work timings and no one cares if you do or do not do over time, only thing matters is you have to finish your tasks in that sprint. You'll start getting tired and feel like switch some other project, which is not so easy, and will a lot of time like months. All those things mentioned above need to be considered if you are a junior developer because you'll be the first to be blamed and yelled at in sprint reviews if tasks are not finished, even though a lot of effort you put in.

Pros

As an engineer, you get to work against business outcomes and work at the top of your value chain. You learn a ton and get to work on multiple technologies and a variety of products. You don't always find a pure tech-product company in Nashville! Working at BOS allows you to think outside the box and outside the "usual way of building software".

Cons

Ill-suited for somebody that is not entrepreneurial, is looking for clearly-defined requirements and easy deadlines.

Pros

Cloud Software that's attractive. Low but decent pay.

Cons

Top management shows a preference for one female employee, which increases mistrust of fair treatment. They uses team meetings as venting forums rather than sharing and coordinating company activities. A culture of fear developed due to bad management practices for several years. There is no clear BOS product vision. Engineers are chastised when product falls short of customer promises. Engineers don't make customer promises. Customer success team should be practical when selling projects to customers.
