Pros

-Competitive starting salary for new grads. -Excellent benefits -9/80 work schedule is great for breaking up the work/life structure -Opportunity to get involved in recreational groups to network with fellow employees.

Cons

As a new hire there is no structure to address adjustment to a new company, and virtually no mentoring or goal addressing. The age gap is clearly visible amongst employees. There are a few new grads, but the majority of the company is in the 35-55 age bracket. T The group dynamic needs to be instilled in workers. Working collaboratively would be much better than being explained what you 'need to do.' Any engineer knows there is more than one way to accomplish a task.

Pros

Great place to launch a career. Good exposure to technology.

Cons

The culture does not have very much freedom. Felt like I was serving a prison sentence while working there. What isadvertised should be changed to discretionary by management because that is who really decided on everything. Management should not penalize or take it personally when employees leave their organizations. They have a habit of publicly berating and exclusion like I have never seen before. Yet they advertise, "you are in control of your career." When you do take control, management will badmouth you to the rest of the organization in order to deter anyone else from doing the same. Management through fear and intimidation is not good for any business.

Pros

Flexible time off. 9/80 schedule - Work 9 hours Mon-Thurs, work 8 hours one Friday and get the next Friday off Easy going work environment. Great people to work with. Very competitive pay for the location.

Cons

Arcane, outdated, and backwards software practices. 1 Tier solution - all software goes into the database (business logic and web page design!) No career advancement opportunities. Management didn't care if the software built was unmaintainable - as long as the customer got what they wanted.
