Pros
There's a few things that make TQL far better than other companies I've worked for. I'll start with the best. The best thing, for me, is how much the company cares about its people having a good time. My boss has been totally supportive of me being curious about other roles, and it's something you see across IT. People move from QA to being devs, from finance guy to business analyst. I've also mentioned ideas about how to make this role better, and I've been listened to, even though I've been here for less than a year. Next, my team is awesome. Pretty much anyone on the team will drop whatever they're doing to help someone out. Good people, good sense of humor. Also, this is not the kind of company where people are constantly looking over your shoulder. You are trusted to do a good job, and to own up to mistakes and resolve them. But people don't freak out if you mess up, either. Finally, I'm a woman, the only one on my team right now, and it's never been a problem. I initially worried about it being a "boy's club", but I don't anymore. I'm treated the same. There's also a very participatory Women's IT group that meets up monthly, which has career related topics.
Cons
Here are my issues: They match 50% of the first 3% you contribute to your 401k, I think? Could be better. The offices are super far away from me, and the open office plan makes it really hard to focus sometimes. For the health insurance, somehow TQL can get out of covering all women's birth control except for IUDs? Because it's a religious organization? I haven't yet tried to get BC under TQL's insurance, so I'm not sure exactly how it'll play out, but yeah. My team has pretty high turnover, but it's mostly because EDI can be rough. Also, there's sort of a pipeline for new dev bootcamp grads from EDI to development here. Roughly 1.5 years after starting, most people move to dev.
