Pros

- Most of the employees are great ppl to work with. - The Benefits are pretty good

Cons

- Urban Science started as a consulting company that develops software products to aide with the consulting aspect, but now the executives has switched course and believe the company is a software company albiet with outdated processes. - A few of their software products are horrible but upper management believes everything is dandy. - Pay is below market standards and the annual merit increases are pathetic. -There isnt much room for growth after employees reach a certain position. A lot of favortism goes on in this office. The phrase 'Who you know and not what you know' really applies. Some positions get filled with an formal internal interview process, while others get filled without one. - The company would rather sacrifice employee satisfaction than record yearly revenue growth. - Company rewards great work by giving the employee the worthless 'challenge coin', which can be bought on ebay.

Pros

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Cons

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
