Pros

Individual contributors work hard and are genuinely good people. Decent benefits package and salary compared to industry average.

Cons

- Culture is toxic — blame shifting and scapegoating are routine, making collaboration stressful. - Leadership struggles to stick to decisions; priorities change constantly without clear direction. - Broken processes are repeatedly reverted to, instead of addressing root causes or making valuable changes. - Accountability is rarely shared at the management level. - Processes are dictated by individuals without the technical expertise to understand their impact, which undermines productivity. - Development teams' input is routinely dismissed, even when it would prevent problems down the line.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
