Pros

High pay in order to get developers to stay

Cons

The prior review was clearly written by management. That makes it clear the level of desperation they feel about acquiring and retaining good people. PG (not PPG - Pinpoint is one word) treat their employees terribly. Their technology is awful. Their infrastructure is a house of cards. It is also a spaghetti mess that will take months to understand and then you will realize just how bad it is. PG doesn't know what MVVM libraries can do for them. They wrote their own reporting engine because they can't see that SSRS would require far less effort. It is all lies. The reporting engine is awful. Have fun maintaining it. The benefit is that if you are good and don't cross the management and you don't value your own happiness, they will pay you way beyond market in order to retain you. Of course then you are stuck and will eventually feel homicidal or suicidal.

Pros

We were all WAY WAY WAY overpaid, (20-30% more than comparable positions.) Cheap snacks, great comradeship between employees. Seriously some of the BEST talent I've ever worked with was at PPG. Former employees went on to work at Kiva Systems, Amazon, Google, TomTom, Dyn.com, and others.

Cons

The interview process is filled with lies and misdirection. Beware the snake oil salesman that runs the place. Anything considered best practice is frowned upon for taking too much time. If you are offered a promotion look out, it's not what you're sold, ever. Promotions make people targets for abuse. Team leads were regularly rotated in and out. Management wasn't looking for true leadership but rather a "Yes" woman/man who would throw others under the bus when problems arose. Leaders were expected to work 60+ hours a week to the fix issues caused by poor management and worse communication from the CEO on down to middle managers right on through to the customers. This is one place where the old saying "Too good to be true" applies. This list could go on for much longer, but can be summed up in a few simple words, "Look elsewhere for work."

Pros

Zip, nada, zilch, smoke and mirrors of above market average pay. That's about it. Oh, Lots of great people have worked here. And left. Clearly.

Cons

Too many to list. I worked here for several years. Not only has this place been by far the worst job I have ever had, but the mental stress it put on me (and others based on the reviews here) haunts me years later. I actually left this field of work entirely because of my experience here.
