Pros

Sr. people are paid well. Lots of freedom.

Cons

Computer Aid has no clue how to collect software specifications from customers. Requirements are ill-defined, if they are defined at all. Developers are blamed for implementing features incorrectly, even when the features are not defined. Sr. Developers are expected to act as first-level tech support. No 401k match. Everything is legacy code (seriously, some things haven't been updated since .NET 1.1). New developers are unleashed on the code with no direction, resulting in inconsistent code style, and duplicate code scattered everywhere. Once you are assigned to a project, your chances of ever moving to another project are slim to none.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on interesting, high-impact projects. - Flexible work environment that supports work/life balance. - Many talented and knowledgeable colleagues across the organization.

Cons

- Leadership dynamics can feel misaligned, particularly when less experienced teams are driving decisions that impact more tenured professionals. - Career growth feels unclear and, at times, unattainable without the "right" visibility or relationships. - Cross-functional friction is common, and navigating disagreement does not always feel supported or safe. - Compensation and advancement do not consistently reflect market expectations or individual contributions. - Organizational priorities can feel disconnected from the day-to-day experience of employees.
