Pros

Not many pros in my opinion

Cons

- Worst codebase I have ever seen. It was ancient and I couldn't do much to improve it as that was not what I was supposed to be working on. Just was supposed to maintain things. - As others have said, devs are on call 24/7. - Was casually told to work weekends with no compensation my first month working there. - Extremely dated technology, I don't feel like I'm advancing in my career or improving as a developer - Management and decisions are just backwards - Meetings, training, recruiters will tell you how great the company is - They'll hire anyone. The other devs I work with are not the brightest - Different teams don't have great communication. Problems come up from this all the time. Team A can't do thing X because of some blocker under Team B's control. But thing X comes up all the time, but Team B doesn't care enough to actually improve things so that thing X stops being a problem, but instead just fixes it each time it comes up. Makes things extremely frustrating. - Internal communication system is over-complicated and slow

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.
