Pros

HCSS is an amazing place to work as long as you fit. It is one of those rare places where they care about you as a person. It is one of those places I would go back to for a pay cut if I still lived in the Houston area. I enjoyed going to work. The company to always improve its quililty of life for employees and in the software it rights. I always felt supported when wanting to move things to better practices and standards. I also felt that I was allowed to try new things and improve how the software worked. They provide food on Friday's and they try to have multiple company wide events during the work day to bring everyone together. Oh and lastly there is a slide. The slide was a great way to get from the 2nd floor to the first.

Cons

I felt like a lot of communication became more hallway based and you would lose track of who said what. This was more of a problem when people were told 2 different things or just forgot. I also felt that some of the ideas from upper management sound great on paper and they pushed down with out making sure it really would work. Also the company started feeling like it was becoming a little more corporate as it grew but still not that bad Lastly I feel like the pay was well below market rate for developers. The end of the year bonus for the most part would bring total pay for the year to market rate but it always a gamble as 1 bad year and ones pay is well below market rate.

Pros

Incredible work environment, freedom to help influence decisions, advancement opportunities, career development, openness to improving if something is a problem, flexible work hours, the vast majority of your coworkers are good workers and interesting people, endless amenities, extremely generous benefits & vacation policies. This company does a lot to support the community around them. They provide a lot of opportunities for entry-level jobs and train people on the job while they are getting paid. They have high standards, so the interview process is challenging, but it also means everyone here is great. Hands down the best job I've ever had. (And I've had a lot of jobs in my career.)

Cons

I don't feel there are a lot of downsides to working here. There are problems, for sure, but a lot of it is more about individuals than the organization itself. People with poor performance or attitudes will likely have a difficult time here. Your mileage may vary.
