Pros

Great learning experience. They allow you to be a decision maker. For an entry level job you get exposed to lots of different aspects of the business. There was travel involved which was fun. The upper management had a true open door policy.

Cons

.The pay used to be way below market. Of course the labor market has recovered and I am not sure they still get quality candidates for the same price but the starting salary was really the major downside when I was there. That said raises were regular and relatively often.

Great people, not enough time off

Pros

The atmosphere in the Software Development department is friendly, low pressure and collaborative. This is a good entry level job for new software developers. The pay is low but you get frequent, significant raises during your first year, so if you perform decently you will end up at or around industry standard at some point between your first & second year. It's a great way to gain experience and learn from people who are very open to sharing their knowledge. It's also nicely lacking in "corporate-speak". I don't know if there is a mission statement or company motto, and that is perfect.

Cons

Low starting pay (with decent frequent raises--see "pros" section). 10 days off/year which includes sick days, personal holidays and vacation. Really, really not enough!

Pros

Great Experience. They put you in roles where you get to wear a lot of hats and have decision making power. It is a great place to build experience and the environment is fun. People were great, good experience. The company is now under new management as they were bought out by a huge company but when I was there the senior management had a real open door policy. When you needed to talk to the CEO all you had to do was go knock on his door and he would make time.

Cons

Pay was below market rates and raises were based more on tenure than on merit.
