Pros

This is not a bad place to start but don't get too attached. The hours are flexible, the work environment is clean but close, meaning open. They have benefits and profit sharing. They have quarterly staff meetings at a local venue with food. All the people there were nice and helpful to a point.

Cons

This is a consulting company. If they get enough work, everyone is busy and happy. In slow times, you may be out on your ear. So keep your skills fresh and your resume up to date. There is not much coordination here. Everyone is doing their own thing. The programming manager is better suited for their managed services side and was somewhat clueless with software development. They didn't know what was getting done and just worried about hours spent.

Pros

One of the best places to work (it's true, black line has won awards for it). The owner wants nothing but a meaningful work experience for team members. This includes the work being done, the compensation, benefits, flexible time off, comradery, recognition, morale, etc.

Cons

Like most companies there is room for improvement in leadership development. This is not for you if you are seeking a large corporate environment as the company is still scaling and growing.
