Pros

LCS puts a lot of focus on having a beautiful facility. And it truly is. There are some truly nice people working at LCS.

Cons

LCS lacks the professionalism and culture that one should expect to find in a truly great company. For example, I witnessed the CIO literally yell at a room filled with all of the developers once because the software was not at the level prematurely promised to customers at the annual convention. Training in the technology (actual programming training) required to do your job is nonexistent. However, know that you WILL work long hours at LCS frequently just to meet the extremely aggressive estimates completed before adequate knowledge exists about what work is required. You WILL be held to those estimates. Your extra effort will not be noticed or appreciated. It often feels as though you are set up to fail. Additionally, managers frequently stand around openly ridiculing interviews that they completed, former employees and even other current employees and managers. Extremely unprofessional behavior that I have never seen before. Turnover is a revolving door for a reason. This is not a "great place to work".

At LCS we value our employees and work hard to create a culture that allows each of them to thrive. However, like any other company we do have deadlines. Our Software Developers create their own estimates including setting their own schedules and deadlines for each project. Our Agile software development process allows Developers to have the flexibility they need, while working collaboratively to meet product deadlines that they have defined. Software Developers at LCS seem to enjoy this process, in fact, the turnover rate in our Development department is currently at 5.61%, significantly below industry average. We absolutely do not tolerate ridiculing of any kind and we have policies in place to prevent this. Our President and CEO reinforces the importance of treating all employees, customers and interview candidates with respect. This is one of the many reasons we have been voted one of the Best Places to Work in Cincinnati for the last 5 years. If you witnessed anything other than this, we wish you would have reported it to the Human Resources department so that it could have been addressed appropriately. We are sorry you had a negative experience and wish you the best in your career.

Pros

Nearly everyone at the company is kind and helpful. The room for growth is there if you take it. Company culture is the best I have seen in Cincinnati.

Cons

Disconnect between departments. Major improvements needed in workflows and processes. Sometimes it does not pay off to work harder than others here.
