Pros
* Technically, my leadership and I mesh extremely well, have the same hot-button issues, the same concerns when it comes to writing code. * Loads of freedom to innovate and solve problems creatively, but also well-supported by large amount of constantly-improving library code. * All tools aside from the obvious tech-specific ones (Toad, Visual Studio, etc) are developed in-house. This is a "pro" because it allows us to deal with the results of our own work, keeps us always looking to improve the experience. * Work area is spacious and well-ventilated, with a good outside view of the nicely maintained grounds, complete with shady trees and garden. * Location is a mere two blocks from LOADS of shopping, lots of lunchtime food destinations, great for entertaining out-of-towners.
Cons
* CR (HR support) is conspicuously absent in Atlanta. All onboarding was handled through remote offices. * Getting set up with a good development machine has proven to be a challenge, but not one we can't overcome.
