Pros

Adequate job for recent graduates who want some entry level experience. 10 work from home days a year.

Cons

This company is run very lean and there is a serious lack of management. You have your Executive Leadership team, comprised of a group of people who are either related to the CEO or have been with the company the longest. Unfortunately they are not necessarily the most qualified people for their roles, and they directly 'manage' all of the undersized teams beneath them. Middle management barely exists, so most teams have no on boarding or training structure leaving new hires completely lost and trying learn about complex software solutions. Meanwhile hard-working employees have nobody to ask for help or guidance when issues come up, leaving them guessing at their work. Compensation is well below average and there are no monetary incentives. There is little to no opportunity for career advancement. You may find that your responsibilities have suddenly expanded significantly yet you are not being compensated any more than entry level. It seems that unless you work in development or sales, you will not get a raise. Incentives include beer on tap and a ping pong table, which for some may be enough.

Pros

ImageTrend is a great place to learn about programming in a comfortable environment where the potential to create something amazing is always lurking around the corner. You will be working on an extensive and complex product that has room for improvement. You will learn lots of different aspects of software development from planning features to building automated tests. The community and culture here was very good for learning. They hire lots of people, so your chances of getting in are good if you show up and know a thing or two about .NET, JavaScript, and SQL. Very honest company from an employee's perspective, very family friendly environment (There is a day care attached to the building). One of the most culturally comfortable places I've worked, and my co-workers agreed. That's why they stayed there.

Cons

However, I wouldn't stay at ImageTrend for long. It seems to be a mature company that has already passed the second inflection point in its S-curve of growth. Your opportunities for increased salary are going to be small. Also, you may end up spending your productive years with antiquated technologies. It's in Lakeville, which is a con to me, but maybe it's a pro to someone else ;)

Pros

The people there were nice. I enjoyed most of my coworkers. I enjoyed talking with them and the atmosphere is open and relaxed enough that you can joke around and have some fun while you're working. Most of the software Imagetrend produces has a "feel good" quality to them--software for hospitals, schools, etc. It doesn't feel like you're writing software for a faceless corporation.

Cons

The pay is definitely below average. From what I hear, now they're trying to be more flexible about working from home or having variable work schedules, but when I worked there, it was strictly 8:30-5. Also, you don't want to program in ColdFusion. strictly as a professional decision. Companies don't want to hire you if you have experience in a dead language like that.
