Pros

Office gym, free snacks, stable environment really cool projects to work on. Amazing health insurance, 401k match, ample PTO.

Cons

Agency life is much more fast paced than working at a product based company. The traffic on RT46 or 80 can be tough commute-wise.

Pros

- Coworkers are great, they're young and eager to learn. Very open minded. - Good opportunity to learn and grow. - You will work with a lot of different technologies. (PHP, Wordpress, Angular, AWS). - They welcome and encourage new ideas. - Nice office, 5 minutes from Willowbrook Mall and close to a number of bars and restaurants. - Includes a gym space which is great. - Office snacks and sodas are a nice touch. - Friendly environment with positive vibes among the employees.

Cons

- Big brother environment, micromanaged. - They monitor your internet traffic, possibly read your emails too. - They have a camera that watches and listens to you. - Owners commit to far more work than what they can actually deliver which then leads them to ask you to work weekends (in-office). - One of the dudes is kinda passive aggressive and he thinks nobody notices. - Pays poorly, they look for Senior Engineers who are willing to accept the pay of a college Jr Dev. (Which is why no Senior Devs ever answer to their job postings) - I was originally offered 2 work from home days per month, but then management refused to give them to me once I was hired. - Your lunch time is set by the company to 1pm for one hour, you cannot leave any earlier or arrive any later than 5 minutes after. - They will make sure that you're back on time by checking up on you. (They do a headcount after lunch). - Management is not held accountable to certain misconduct. - Product management is non-existent, you will be pivoting between projects back and forth, more than normal. - Not a lot of care for good coding practices from management, although the devs do a good job at setting a decent bar. - Project specs are inconsistent and you will find yourself redoing work from time to time. Mostly due to lack of thorough feature definition/direction.
