Pros

I liked my fellow employee's

Cons

The owner of the company would walk around the office and if he didn't see us in our cubical on any given day would mark us down for a lower raise at the yearly review. Didn't matter if we'd simply chosen the wrong time to eat lunch, use the restroom, or were actually sick and working from home (which the company allows) we were perceived as unproductive. Management often spoke about us like we were "development resources" instead of actual people. Add all that to their application being a major legacy project and I would not recommend anyone work here. You won't be gaining experience on modern technologies and it will pigeon hole your career path into a niche market with little room to expand. We spent 90% of our time just finding and fixing bugs in their massive spaghetti code, not actually developing new features or improving the application.

Pros

I joined Novarad because they are privately owned and are very economically stable. They create products that help people and that gives me the purpose, through work, that I was looking for. They pay a large portion of the medical premium and match some of the HSA which pays for the rest. The people are great and the product is well respected.

Cons

Our office situation is not ideal as the managers are generally not sitting close to their teams.
