Pros

Progressive company (Respects all races and genders!!!) Good salary for location Bosses who care and listen

Cons

Need more employees in all departments, including leadership Need more locations to work from (Remote would do wonders) Need dedicated lunch for night crew of Support, oftentimes people will greedily eat all of the catered lunch.

Pros

Strong team with good rapport and skill in various areas of development. The software we build is also interesting to work on and the whole team is involved in decision making. Everyone works well with each other, and new employees get into the stride of things quickly. Company is moving away from an ancient codebase and is willing to trust developers with the direction and tech of new code.

Cons

Having to live in New Jersey. Atmosphere with other teams can be a bit rough. CEO is not willing to budge on remote work. Fixed hours even for devs is silly, but not enforced. CEO has historically not done right by the company, but is clearly turning a new leaf.

Pros

This company is amazing. I relocated just to work for this company. They did everything they could to make the transition to the new area as easy for me as possible. Once I started working there I found that the companies primary goal was to have the customers walk away with the best experience they could. I believed this was attacked by management by making the employees happy. The benefits are out of this world. I pay pretty much nothing for any heath care. There are co-pays but the get reimbursed within a few weeks. You'll never go hungry. There is always food in the fridge, and snacks all over the place. Its a laid back atmosphere. A great environment to learn and get better with anything technical. I can't imagine another place that could top this one.

Cons

Living in New Jersey. When I first started working here I brought my significate other. I was put on a less than desirable shift which cause many issues with my relationship that might not be able to be repaired at this point.
