Pros

Working on demos is fun, albeit a little stressful

Cons

There are some efforts to make an agile development environment but waterfalls still exist. Projects are often dropped or new ones pop up so you will be pulled in many different directions, more likely a symptom of understaffing.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
