Pros

Company-sponsored trips and events, the people working there are great, much of the work was interesting and fun. Reasonable hours (depending on project), and benefits were pretty good.

Cons

Employees are regularly expected to sign a restrictive and vague noncompete agreement whose list of competitors varies every year, leading to confusion about which employers are off-limits; I don't know if this is intentional. Nonetheless, management isn't afraid to pursue litigation- this is verifiable in the Orange County Clerk of Courts public records (online). Several of us had complained about irregular pay increases- or lack thereof. Other companies have been wary of hiring former DiSTI employees over fears of potential legal issues for the employee. All of these can contribute to wage deflation and career-limiting concerns.

Pros

Organized software development lifecycle, good employees will get noticed and be given leadership responsibilities, friendly co-workers, working long hours is very infrequent and working conditions are not too stressful.

Cons

Strict HR policies, especially relative to other software jobs in the area. Management is paranoid about employees. They keep a close eye on what time people come and go, monitor internet activity, have a dress code, etc. There are no regularly scheduled pay raises. Depending on what team you're on, you may not get broad engineering experience.

Pros

As a smaller company generally the work is fast paced and there is plenty of it so always things to keep busy and interesting, Also many roles will need to be filled by a single person so great for gaining experience with many different things. Overall a lot of experience can be gained in the environment.

Cons

The work life balance is not good, many tasks are assigned, and in general it is expected that it all gets done even though there is not enough time. In general extra hours need to be put in to get things done and compensation is not usually given. Management is unclear and unfocused. The decisions are not congruent across different mangers of the company and there is some infighting going which makes the direction fuzzy. Company is somewhat unorganized because the general workload everyone is under.
