Pros

Although it has recently been acquired by a larger organization (ION), Lab49 maintains a culture of a small software consulting company. Engineers get to work on a wide variety of technologies building software for its capital market clients. Interesting and challenging work, competitive pay, good work/life balance. Most engineers get the chance to change projects several times a year, which allows you to learn different technologies and problem domains and work with different teams. Ample opportunity to stand out and be recognized

Cons

Communication from top-level management could be better and was lacking during the ION transition where there was some confusion. Things have improved on that front.

Pros

Great view from the NYC office. Had a great team which is why I stayed so long (over 12 years).

Cons

No direction, no transparency, no communication from leadership, bonuses cut, and now mass layoffs.
