Pros

The dress code and parking

Cons

My male boss has a habit of coming over to my very open cube and just stares at me for approxinately a minute. He frowns, shakes his head and storms off. An hour of so later he reprimands me by saying so and so noticed. I sit directly in front of him and have from day one. He watches when I go to the bathroom and come and go. If I change my schedule, he changes his to the same schedule. If I leave the building, I am supposed to tell him where I am going and when I will be back. I am not allowed to work from home or use my cell phone for any reason during working hours including emergencies. I was disciplined for making a personal call, reading training materials, not using the company headset or second monitor and not speaking up in a meeting when they were talking about processes that made no sense. He threatened to fire me before my vacation, pulls me into conference rooms where he reprimands me for things that no normal person would, talks down to me, yells and attacks me, talks about me to everyone, expects me to work 10 hour days without a break and assigned me the task of a scribe on a project only to kick me off three months later. I am not sure why I was ever hired in the first place. The atmosphere there is terrible. No one goes to lunch and only interacts with each other when management isn't around. If you are a female, don't go work here. They will stick you with this supervisor who clearly hates women. Also, they have no concept of software development. They are too hung up on processes, extreme micromanagement and harassment instead of actually getting work done. You actually get graded on your work and are given very unreasonable instructions on how to do it.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
