Pros

Great work/life balance, remote schedule is pretty flexible. We are not micromanaged. Tons of opportunities to learn as a newer developer - lots of classes offered, many self paced learning tools available. Decent benefits and nice 401k program

Cons

End of year bonus is tied to company gainshare factor - when the factor is low bonuses will be very small. It is not related to your personal performance. Promotions from entry level to intermediate can be challenging- there seems to be an emphasis on spending 2 years at the company, rather than focusing on skill level. If your manager does not schedule you for promotion at the end of the fiscal year, there is very little chance it will go through the following year. PTO takes forever to accrue as a new hire.

Pros

Fully remote, good work/life balance and lots of opportunities for development and growth. Manager and project teams are extremely supportive of personal development and encourage asking questions/collaboration. Gainshare payout at the end of the year is nice - based on your gainshare target and company performance Good company culture, coworkers are genuinely nice people Excellent entry level job

Cons

Lots of corporate hoops to jump through for promotion process - depending on how early in the year you are submitted for promotion, you could end up waiting until the next fiscal year for it to go through. Expectation that associate devs should be with the company 2 years before being promoted is outdated. Many managers pushing away from this though. Overall compensation is not as competitive if gainshare is low that year. In general, compensation is not as high as other tech companies
