Pros

Amazing retirement program and unparalleled vacation (you can get up to 4 weeks your 1st year). Very modern Java development practices. Smart co-workers. The Director of Java is an excellent manager.

Cons

They are still a COBOL shop. There are only 2 Java developers, 2 PHP developers, and 1 Java manager. For the most part, everyone else is either COBOL or Lotus Notes. Senior Management is unpredictable, scared of change, and seems to take "the customer's always right" a little too far.

Pros

Benefits covered 90% of my healthcare needs. The time-off and work-from-home policies were flexible and allowed me to meet my military requirements.

Cons

The salary policy did not guarantee advancement for low-level employees. You are guaranteed a merit raise each year, but you cannot receive a salary raise within the same six-month period. If an Unclassified employee reaches the maximum of their pay scale, they will no longer receive a merit raise. A department supervisor must approve any pay scale increase. The appeal process takes longer than most are willing to accept.
