Software Developer - great place for long-term career

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome benefits: 8% 401k match, pretty great health insurance (80% paid by company, healthy lifestyle reduces cost to employee further), annual bonus, terrific mobility between teams if you want to switch up what you're doing, lots of integrity. There are many employees who expect to spend their entire career with the company... unheard of in the IT industry.

Cons

While the job security is unmatched for the IT industry, you sacrifice a bit in terms of salary growth. Too many levels of management; HR policies and tradition baked in deep to anything career-related.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance and benefits are above standard. Positive outlook for most developer roles.

Cons

No matter your skill set every developer is paid approximately the same per level. During promotions, which are given and not applied for, it creates little room for negotiation. Too heavy a reliance on contractors and TCS/HCL.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good 401k match, nice facilities, 2 onsite free gyms, 2 onsite Starbucks, decent onsite food options, relatively low stress and low performance expectations (job security).

Cons

Low performance expectations which leads to team members not doing work. This situation is compounded by promotions at 2 year intervals regardless of performance (Highest performer on team gets promotions in the same duration as the lowest performer). It really sucks the desire to perform right out of you when you see a guy sleeping at his desk get promoted the same time as someone working 10 hour days. Also, the pay is currently below average for the city, by about 15%.
