Pros

At my time at the company, there was very caring management and easy to communicate and learn from everyone regardless of levels.

Cons

The company has been bought out by private equity and has off-loaded most of its engineers to India - take that as you will. They're way too focused on agile development and focus on sprints to track metrics. Instead of focusing on building a product you have to work on maintaining and making sure ONLY sprint targets are hit, meaning if you finish all the sprint goals before the deadline you are no allowed to pick up new work before the deadline.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
