      Very low development quality

      Pros

      Friendly work environment. 3D real time simulation.

      Cons

      Very low quality codebase and software development practices. Very poor implementations of basic things. No documentation. No automated testing. Very poor code reuse, branching everything all the time, and manually maintaining dozens of branches of the same code. Build server breaks down on regular basis. Vast majority of the time is spent debugging and trying to get existing code to work, most of the time for trivial functionality. DLL hell. Everything is always rushed. No one really wants to improve the development quality.

      Exciting product and technology, lacking the management competence to drive it.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The place used to hold considerable technical expertise. The products combine the technical thrill of 3D games and the pride in contributing to better medicine. Atmosphere among colleagues is usually very good. The company is pretty much the world leader at its niche.

      Cons

      The company is ~15Y old, and still manages like a fledgling startup. There is zero in-house knowledge about project management, product management or management at all for that matter. I've never seen a project that was actually planned. I've never seen risk managed. I've never seen any effort dedicated to serious time/cost estimates. Impossible deadlines are knowingly set, and the overall culture is of a constant crunch. Not a single PM has any product (or other) management experience. Main hiring criterion used to be cheap salaries, and so technical depth has all but faded completely - but I hear that may have changed for the better.

      Interesting work. Relaxed and flexible.

      Work with very badly written code base. But constantly improving.
