Pros

Smoothstack has been a great choice for me so far. As a non-traditional programmer without a college computer science degree, I have found it difficult to break in to the industry. While I lack a degree, I have been programming from the age of 12. I am a competent developer who can hold my own but other companies weren't willing to give me a chance to prove myself. Where others saw inexperience, Smoothstack saw potential. They helped to foster my talents and get me in front of companies where I could finally prove myself. Thanks to Smoothstack I am now working full time as a Software Developer at a large company. Without Smoothstack I don't know how I ever would have entered this profession.

Cons

It would be nice to get a few more paid vacation days.

Pros

They teach you ideas and concepts that schools do not teach, but what you need in order to work in this industry. In addition, the people who work in HR are amazing people

Cons

They could use a few more benefits (which in all fairness has improved over the years)
