Pros

+ A great salary, benefits package, and bonus. + A good learning opportunity. You'll be challenged to learn a lot, fast. + A distributed team ( most team members telecommuted 100% ). + Smart, professional co-workers with a sense of humor. + A not-so-messy Perl codebase with lots of tests. + A mature Agile process, which helps teams functional well. + Emphasis on documentation, so there are written procedures for doing some complex tasks. + New initiative to automate as much as possible ( example: minimal manual QA ). + Lunch-and-Learn sessions, in which a speaker gives a presentation during lunch.

Cons

- Too many communication tools ( email, multiple flavors of IM, multiple ways of doing voice chat, video conferencing, screen shares, and pair programming, message boards, wiki, Slack, etc. ), which sometimes cause communication to go haywire.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
