Pluspunten
-I loved the people I worked with. Couldn't ask for a better set of dorks to shoot the shtuff with- complete with game nights. -Good starting job. They claim it's sink or swim, but they get you started off easy with bug tickets and the like to see where you're at. -Put a lot of weight on my interests when assigning me to projects. -Good job security, could probably make a lot if you decide to stick around. -When I left they were improving and modernizing their practices and workflows. -If you're personable they'll send you out to meet clients across the country.
Minpunten
-Fast dev cycles lead to buggy products that fail to live up to what was promised to clients and tech debt that's never dealt with in a meaningful way -No overtime pay. Any extra hours you put in to make a deadline are for brownie points. -Constant work with legacy systems means that it can be a challenge to stay current. You can get assigned to research a new tech, but that might become its own nightmare. -There's a handful of moral grey areas with the products this company makes that made the hours I sunk into maintaining them seem doubly wasted. -The main location is in the middle of nowhere, PA. The town is nice enough and the hiking is great, but wow does traveling out of there suck. And they use the low cost of living to justify a lower salary.
