"Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication." Too bad Urban lacks trust.

Pros

- Decent benefits - Facilities are new and top notch - Development Teams have access to the latest tools and technologies

Cons

- Poorly managed projects result in disproportionate workloads - Lacks technical vision and execution - HR is so poorly staffed they cannot correct department and leadership deficiencies - Poor project management and planning forces teams to work 12+ hours for months on end. - Outdated development process (lacks industry standards) - IT leadership doesn't trust employees and would rather spend money on consultants who are repeating what employees have said for years. - Middle and Upper management (not C level) lack trust in employees - Poor management has resulted in lots of very talented employees leaving

Not worth the commute

Business Outlook

Pros

For a developer like me, the best thing about working there was the people. Despite their general cluelessness regarding software development, Urban Science has managed to hire some very, very good people in development and QA.

Cons

This is, without a doubt, the only company I've ever worked for where it was allowed for departments to show open contempt for another department (basically, everyone for TechDev, which is now part of IT). The commute was horrendous. The company in general has flex time, but not IT.

Tied heavily to the automotive industry, upper management not effective communicators, work-life balance and job satisfaction varies greatly between teams.
