Pros

The pay, as a full time employee, is on par with what I expect for teach leads and sr devs

Cons

They micromanage you. They want you on camera so they can watch you. They force you to travel into their office in Maryland no matter where you are located. They ping you every 10 to 15 minutes for a progress update. They have no idea how to build decent software.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
