Pros

Great people (can't stress this enough) Good products Good industry knowledge Customers are passionate about products - very active

Cons

Parent company has very little experience in SDLC Development recently took over Product Managment (& not in a good way) Some technology is so antiquated that it's hard to find developers (ColdFusion) Headstrong developers fight Product's findings and definitions of users / needs Development based gold-plating is rampant Squabbling & slippery short-term goals along with pet projects kill timeframes, deadlines and overall morale

Pros

When I started out, training was thorough and intensive. They made sure you knew what you talking about and offered support whenever you needed. Offered incentives such as amazon gift cards during holiday season and overtime after two months of being a new hire.

Cons

When you extend your stay and don't grovel to a manager, a target is put on your back. Management will put you on a PIP (Personal Improvement Plan). When its PIP time expect micromanaging to the max, Snide remarks when you make a mistake, lack of support in the group chats. Most importantly you will get shut out of queue for tasks. They will assign it to the teacher's pet and you will be left to bite dust. Management will lie and say you didn't try to do your work when in reality they were gatekeeping the tasks from the least liked employees..
