Pros

The work was fun, and some co-workers are awesome

Cons

The company is crooked. Management has no clue how to run a business. They just make it up as they go. I would routinely work 50-60 hours a week with no compensation. There was no such thing as a process to make things reliable. It was just thrown together at the last minute. When they had rough times and they did layoffs, I had about 55 hours of vacation saved up. When they said they needed to let me go, I asked if I could get paid for the vacation that I did not use, and they said no, that it is just lost. They then asked if I was going to get a lawyer. Which I though was an interesting question. I learned later that its because what they were doing was completely illegal! Because I was a new engineer I had no clue what they were doing and they took advantage of me. I am surprised that they keep limping along.

A small tech company pretending to be a big tech company

Pros

Several people were great to work with. Had an awesome culture when I first started. Created some really neat stuff.

Cons

Frequent process changes made it so most people didn't know what to do often. Environment turned too office political and got fairly toxic. They pretend testing is a major priority, but was pushed aside as releases drew near. Almost everything was released late and customers were left wanting. So many developers just didn't care about releases. Seemed like they thought it was an R&D company while management thought it was a product company. Developers weren't concerned with timely releases and felt comfortable losing a contract and moving on to another one. Management did not put enough emphasis on the importance of actually deliverable usable product. Often, QA and product managers would be left staying late trying to get release testing finished while nearly all developers left at CoB rather than also staying to help. Bugs were poorly prioritized.

Pros

Cool technologies & some great co-workers.

Cons

Complete lack of management structure & leadership. Constant restructuring & moving middle management into different roles with no consultation. CEO who grossly overestimates his value to the company & should be replaced by the board. No idea of how to move from a contract engineering company to a product company - not helped by product managers who have zero domain experience.
