Pros

Relaxed work environment, snacks, happy hour, training. Mitratech likes to promote from within, but you will have to prove you deserve it through an interview process. It's not that difficult; I managed to do it, and I swear I get at least one email a month for others' promotions.

Cons

Mitratech struggles with communication, but not for a lack of trying. Webexes are held daily to connect HQ with other offices, and emails are sent out for departions, promotions, and community volunteer opportunities. Remote offices are a difficult obstacle to overcome, but there's not much getting around that when working for a large company. I'd like to see better health insurance offerings.

Pros

Occasionally there's free beer. Made some friends working there.

Cons

Constantly hemorrhaging employees, inexperienced and disengaged management, hiring process makes it difficult to bring new people aboard (though somehow a particular "senior" software engineer slipped through the cracks and is causing frustration), instability in every aspect, very low salaries, poor benefits. There really isn't any incentive to work for this company. This company has always been insanely demanding of their poorly paid employees. Now that there are so few developers and quality engineers left, the workload is truly out of hand. Work/life balance is awful. Also, lets make this very clear: THE BASE SALARY FOR A SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT THIS COMPANY IS 40,000. Don't believe that 94,000 figure, or think you'll ever come anywhere close to that. They cap-off seniors at 70,000. It is also very difficult to get promoted.

Pros

-Casual work environment (shorts, flip-flops are OK) -Middle management is helpful -Collaborative team environment -Incredibly personable and nice people working in the company -Beautiful HQ location (if you don't mind afternoon traffic) -Centrally located Houston office (only good though if you live in the loop)

Cons

-Alienation of other employees from acquired companies -Lack of communication between HQ and other offices -"Our way or the highway" approach to problem solving -Right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing sometimes (ex: reimbursing gasoline expenditure one month, then not the next, stating it shouldn't have happened in the first place) -Acquired employees jobs changed without any choice in the matter, leaving valuable skills unused -Incredibly slow approval process for content creation/changes -No innovation...mentality of employees is that they need to acquire another company to get a solution they want to utilize and/or sell -When Bridgeway Software was acquired, laid off execs predicted they only purchased company for the client base...this was proven to be true when less than 2 months later, Mitratech's VC partner sold Mitratech...the Bridgeway purchase was just a padding for sale.
