Pros

- Top talent in the trenches - Fun tech to work with, great problem space - Focus on being productive, not many barriers for those who are motivated - Paid well

Cons

- Amazingly incompetent people made it into upper management - After two acquisitions much of the original WMS family feel is gone - Looks like the party has moved to Vegas where they know best - Chicago campus is on top of the deep tunnel, when it rains hard it stinks bad

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
