Pros

Free parking, generous PTO, work from home on Fridays, great software, enjoyable staff, work benefits society. Works well with remote employees.

Cons

Top level management in over their heads, needs to admit the company is a software development company instead of merely a software configuration company. Top level management listens to but doesn't act on base level employees' concerns. Consistently late on project deadlines due to chronic project mismanagement. Mid-level management essentially has their hands tied, because top level management not responsive enough. Really poor compensation across the board compared to the rest of the industry, especially when you find out how much they are charging clients. Marketing hasn't brought in any new, committed, contract signing clients in 9 months.

Pros

I really like the people I get to work with, and (most of) the clients are very appreciative. Everyone's smart and generally keeps their cool, even when things change or a fire starts. I'm not sure where other reviewers are getting their information, but everyone I've worked with has been professional and has always put the needs of the clients first. Yes, this is small company, and the management team could do a much better job of facilitating orderly changes to technology and processes ... but this is also consulting and IT company, so I think there's always going to be an element of instability (unless you're working in someplace big and boring). The work itself ranges from occasionally tedious to brag at the bar to your friends how cool it is. It's also pretty nice that the work can be traced to actually helping science and people.

Cons

This place can get hectic. As I said, fires do start, sometimes big ones. When they do though, everyone keeps their calm and puts them out. Management talks about improvements on this front, but they've been slow coming. If they actually gave everyone the time they need to focus, we'd go from good to great, and a lot of the small issues would evaporate.
