Pros

- Pretty good benefits, but embarrassingly bad 2 year vesting schedule on 401k - Lots of training, which is a good and bad thing - The people working their are very accepting

Cons

- Still using PHP. Very rough for career transitions. You won't be using any new technology here and if you do it would be very little. - There isn't autonomy. They love to call themselves a software company but they have rules of an hr sales company. Strict 8-5, business casual, etc. - Agile is non-existent. I was told in the interview process they used it everywhere, but was lied to - VERY counter productive 'Point System' for devs. They take their point system that's used in the competitive sales department and threw it on devs. You earn points based off projects you work and how many hours they 'think' you should take on it. They give less points for bugs and security work (fixing issues is worth less?) so you always feel like you have to take new development. They also have a board of the 'Top 15' and 'Bottom 15' devs for all to see in the office. It makes people feel horrible when devs should be working to solve problems together. You also have to hit a certain point threshold for a promotion (what if you're a special case who should be promoted now though?) - Codebase is terrible. Unit tests, strict standards, etc are non existent

Pros

Easy on-boarding/transition process, friendly coworkers, fun culture, optimal work/life balance and great lunches

Cons

The traffic in the morning and afternoon is pretty congested, but they've improved with the new road. They are constantly looking for ways to fix this issue.
