Pros

Good location in north Pinellas county and close to many things in case you have to do errands at lunch time.

Cons

Very frustrating and disappointing to be a developer here. You mostly work on bugs and there is a constant flow of them. Some people work on new development, but they get pulled off to work on bugs most of the time. There is a strong sense of mistrust at all levels of the company. It is well known that your Outlook mail and messaging are monitored by the HR guy and several people have been "busted" for writing non-business content. They keep selling their product but don't have a method for dealing with the demand. There have been some good people on board but they can't excel because the company president has to have things his way and that's pretty much what messes everything up. So, all the best people have left like rats on a sinking ship. I am looking for a new position and most of the other developers are looking as well. Not sure about other departments but I imagine they are in the same boat as us developers since they are run by the same man. They have been trying to hire people like crazy for many months now but cannot get people to join, so that leads to more pressure on those of us still here.

Pros

Pays on time! Staffed with many excellent, competent, knowledgeable people who are capable of juggling the multiple client workload (with enough time, proper management and support) and willing to share their knowledge. Excellent product. Engaging work when allowed to be a _. The home grown Online Project Communication system when used fully. Paul is always seeking opportunities to grow his company and portfolio. Paul Toomey.

Cons

Poor to no documented process. No to poor process review. Status quo approach and mentality is pervasive. No empowerment. No risk management strategy, problems are documented as risks. Too much early focus on customization and too little "off the shelf" leads to failure to deliver on time. Little support. Little willingness to change. More of a don't think, do as you are told than a practice your craft environment. Cliquey environment, where bullying by some tenured people is tolerated. Communication is not effectively managed across platforms. Projects are sold based on the dream (off the shelf) implementation and not on the reality (we don't have the resources and/or plan to get it intricately customized in the time promised). Not enough time for stretched stressed staff to get all the customization work done in the time promised Diversity and inclusion amounts to email reminders of whose birthday month it is and no training.
