      Pros

      Amazing people to work with. Some of the smartest people I have met in my 20+ years in the software industry.

      Cons

      Bias towards quick and dirty solutions. Lack of understanding that the target user is not a software engineer at google.

      Interesting work but poorly managed

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is a lot of interesting work and customers with challenging problems. The company is a large portfolio of hardware and software solutions to work with.

      Cons

      Poor communications between software development uniits were tolerated by management. Management never communicated its goals leaving engineering and consulting in the dark. Software quality was so poor that customers were dissatisfied and continuously threatening to halt the projects. Payment was withheld leading to more pressure to cut costs and diminished software quality. There was no QA on software prior to installation at the customer site. There were many problems with benefits administration caused by the third party firm hired to manage those items.
