Pros

I haven’t been with the company very long but I already really enjoy the work I’m doing here. It’s interesting and challenging without being too demanding. Or rather, I should say, it’s demanding but not in a stressful way. I’ve yet to be given a deadline I couldn’t easily reach and there’s never any last-minute “emergencies” that are just piled on without any warning and with the expectation that you finish all of the work you were already doing on top of the additional work. I’ve been at a few companies where that was the norm, and I’ve got to say I really hope things stay the same here at USAN because so far I’m really loving it. I know what I’m doing, and I’m left alone to get it done. Managers don’t hover and even though the company likes to put on events and parties, they’re all outside of the regular work hours (or the work day is cut short), so there aren’t any distractions that keep me from getting my work completed on time. It’s probably not the ideal work environment for everyone but it more than works for me.

Cons

I don’t think I’ve been here long enough to be able to speak on the “cons” with any real authority. I have a few months under my belt, and during that time I’ve been getting used to the different environment and learning my role. Outside of that transition period at the beginning I haven’t really found anything I don’t like about working here.

Pros

competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

culture is a bit dated. There is remote work infrastructure, but we were rarely allowed to use it.

Pros

The salary is decent, most of management is decent, micromanaging hasn't been a problem at all. Working from home is not encouraged, but hasn't been an issue for the couple times it's been needed. No solid 9-5 hours which is nice, able to get in early and leave early to avoid traffic.

Cons

Total seclusion from coworkers. Everyone is in their offices by themselves, almost no collaborative interaction at all. You just sit in your box and do the work your manager gives you. I've gone weeks before with nothing to work on, even after begging my manager for something to work on. Some people may see that as a plus, but I really don't. Organization is minimal at best and procedures change from one project to the next. Office chairs are old, uncomfortable, and falling apart. Code is all clunky, proprietary, and home-grown, no transferable skills at all. No documentation exists for any of it either, everything is hive-mind and known by management so they feel no need to write any kind of documentation for the code or the engine it's running on. There's not even a solid ORG chart, work can come from anyone in management, some of whom are incredibly hard to work with.
