Pros

The campus (West Creek) is incredible. Pay is relatively high for the area. The bar on hard skills is really low for engineers for comparable positions, so it makes this a great place to learn. Ton of volunteering positions for giving back to the community.

Cons

From the shared tech side of house- If you want a tech heavy, forward leaning programming job this ain't it chief. This is an "argue with the tech lead about why unit tests are important" type of job. If you try to improve the quality of programming, the populist hordes will scorn you. Adding tests and implementing design patterns takes too long, silly! You Build It You Own It culture translates internally to software developers that ship things without giving it any testing other than a quick, manual happy path. I never saw a solution get off the ground here. I consistently saw products being created that didn't meet the needs of our users, but did meet the political needs of certain managers. Inevitably, one crew of management would be fired or reorganized and another team would shepherd the product to its next phase. Be prepared to come in one day and have all your work cancelled or reorged away from you.
