Pros

Great work life balance, culture, and managerial practices. Very diverse in both age and demographics, contributes immensely to the easy going culture. No pressure to "fit in".

Cons

Software development life cycle can cause some issues and promotion is very slow.

Pros

- professional coworkers - generous tuition assistance - decent pay

Cons

- My manager was not helpful, only had two one on ones each year and would often make verbal promises that he eventually forgot months later. - boring and broken tech; testing your code locally could even be a struggle and there were pointless Java updates - program clearance took way too long; I was at the company for three years not knowing what I was working before I couldn’t take it anymore - paradoxical optimizations; teammates would often talk endlessly on how to optimize the broken tech they’ve been assigned to. It all felt kind of pointless - confused management and lots of cancellations; 4/5 of the projects I worked on were cancelled which was very demoralizing - clocking in hours on spreadsheets is annoying; often found myself working late because I was lost on a assignment and didn’t want to mischarge. Ended up subtracting my vacation time frequently - teammates were often bad at explaining things (especially through writing). I recall my software architect explaining dependency injection in a condescending manner to insinuate it’s too difficult to explain. After learning it myself a year later, I’d say it’s not that complicated at all. - teammates were a bit backstabby during year end reviews
