Pros

Flexible work hours, family-friendly. Food, beer, and laughs are a priority. Well-managed meetings so you won't waste too much time. Great common-sense attitude toward balancing work and real life. Work-wise, as a dev, you'll probably be working an infinite bug queue--obviously both a Pro and a Con--the Pro is that in debugging everything, backend to frontend, database to browser, you'll get a wide range of experience in a short time.

Cons

In recent growth some difficult personalities have been added. This has led to cliquishness and driven away some team members. Some inexperienced employees hired, then left high and dry without support or training. Company direction is set by owners and their family members--some of whom you might never meet--and managers are hired from outside, so you are not likely to move up. The work you do on day one is the same work you'll be doing in a month, a year, in five years.

Pros

Emberex itself is phenomenal. The owners and managers are the best people you can find. They highly emphasize team cohesion and the atmosphere alongside technical expertise. There is company sponsored outings, lunches and a stock of snacks for all to enjoy. Peer code reviews and an emphasis on modern technology when they can make the work as enjoyable as possible.

Cons

Emberex lives at the whim of its major contract. Everything from the technologies used to the day to day development strategies and agile workflow are dictated by the contract. This company is difficult to work with especially during the frequent team fluctuations they experience. If Emberex had free reign to do as it pleased, it would be the best place to work in Eugene. Emberex itself has gone through some growing pains as well which put a lot of pressure on the small management staff.
