Business Outlook

Pros

Working as a software developer at Urban Science is great if you don't want to do anything but develop software. I was never denied any requested time off or pressured not to take it. Everyone at Urban Science is smart.

Cons

Depending on which team you get put on can have a big impact on the software development process used and the quality of the codebase you work one.

More cons than pros at the moment, but there are signs of change

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing travel opportunities, good opportunities to grow and develop with the company.

Cons

Lacking in competitive compensation. Company striving for huge growth in the coming years, but behind the best when it comes to company culture. Somewhat lacking in solid people management, and a feeling of disconnect between Senior Management and their employees. Again, it seems they are looking to address these.
