Pros

- Lots of genuinely good, friendly people - The owners care about people more than just profit, which is fantastic - There is little to no pressure towards a negative work/life balance. Once in a while there will be a situation where a customer wants extra, but Mark is good about giving the employee a choice in whether they accept. - Surrounded by knowledgeable people (though you'll likely only be interacting with a few of them at a time because of how projects work) - Good place for newer developers to have access to kind and helpful people. Perhaps not as good for more senior people since they'll be looking to you to fill in those gaps and that might not be for everyone.

Cons

- There is a lot of emphasis on compensation being "fair". This sounds good in theory, but in practice "fair" just means "not bad" and not "good". There is a mismatch here, since IntelliTect wants (and sells themselves on having) great developers, but is only willing/able to provide pretty average compensation. - Your experience will vary greatly based on what project you're on. Some are good, some are pretty bad. Being a "high end consultant" is sold as if you're going to be some elite expert coming into places to help do cool things. It can be that for some projects... but for many more you'll feel more like a second-class citizen or a mercenary coming to do the dirty work that no one else wants to do. How "supported" you are will vary a lot by project as well, so people without a lot of initiative to figure things out on their own will probably struggle. - There is often ambiguity which can be really difficult for some personality types. In recent months the leadership has made progress in this area and hopefully they'll continue to do so.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough review. We truly care about your well-being and appreciate the feedback. We work hard to provide many benefits beyond compensation, and we have received consistent feedback that our developers are in favor of us continuing to provide those benefits. The customer, employee, and company all benefit from our collaborative work culture and we are continuing to put more emphasis on this. We realize completing certifications can sometimes be a daunting task, but obtaining them brings about more project opportunities that allow great growth and experiences for our employees – many of whom prefer taking on new projects with their different challenges. We are looking forward to our continued growth and the variety of opportunities we can provide for our developers.

Pros

Supportive Environment: One of the standout aspects of my internship was the supportive and collaborative environment. From day one, I was assigned a mentor who provided guidance, answered my questions, and helped me navigate any difficulties I may face. The entire team was approachable and always willing to lend a helping hand. Hands-On Learning: The internship wasn't just about observing; I had the opportunity to work on real projects that had a meaningful impact on the company's products. This hands-on experience was invaluable and accelerated my growth as a software engineer. Work-Life Balance: IntelliTect prioritizes work-life balance, which is often overlooked in the tech industry. I appreciated the flexibility and the emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life equilibrium.

Cons

It's genuinely challenging to come up with any significant cons for my internship experience.
