Pros

Strong team with good rapport and skill in various areas of development. The software we build is also interesting to work on and the whole team is involved in decision making. Everyone works well with each other, and new employees get into the stride of things quickly. Company is moving away from an ancient codebase and is willing to trust developers with the direction and tech of new code.

Cons

Having to live in New Jersey. Atmosphere with other teams can be a bit rough. CEO is not willing to budge on remote work. Fixed hours even for devs is silly, but not enforced. CEO has historically not done right by the company, but is clearly turning a new leaf.

Pros

Free food and soda, unlimited pto, 2.5x overtime pay, education reimbursement, paid MacBook, paid relocation, housing assistance

Cons

Poor training, punished for leaving office at end of shift improperly without any lockdown procedure training. Reported security concern but fired for not reporting it properly, although it was reported to the security team. Promised promotion after 1 year and management ignored me following up on that. If you work there and leave a bad review on here they threaten your employment unless you remove the review. Mansgement call people sex offenders without proof.
