Pros

The people who I work with are amazing.. very smart individuals that can make anything happen when needed. Pretty welcoming environment as well, no real complaints there.

Cons

Project timelines are absolutely ridiculous. I can't speak from experience since I'm relatively new to software development, but I'm pretty sure that major software projects take more time than 2 months for specification, development and testing altogether. I'm watching developers lose sleep over maintaining garbage legacy applications that were probably hurried out the door as well... If you're not sprinting, however, it feels like there's nothing to do. During very few moments would I say that the team has had an "average" workload. OGE also has an outsourcing problem, which is currently causing more problems than it is solving. In fact, an employee who had spent 30+ years with the company was let go recently.

Pros

A Great place to learn.

Cons

Not a draw back for me, but if you have not worked shift work it maybe difficult to adjust to the job especially for some craft/technical positions.
