Pros

- Really good learning opportunities, especially for students with little/no experience. - most people are nice/willing to help - interesting projects

Cons

- Very low pay for interns and hourly employees considering the amount of work, stress, and responsibility given - 3-4 month long delays for receiving paychecks - They don't practice what they preach about retaining employees. they have low pay, stressful workloads, terrible benefits, and no opportunities for staff to anonymously submit feedback. the leader is either delusional or really good at manipulating people into thinking this is an amazing place to work... felt like bait & switch for a company that focuses on employee retention, who's leader is a 'retention expert', they don't seem to do much to retain their own staff or realize that there is a problem... if you're really looking to gain experience, and you can afford to not get paid for 6-7 months, this is a good start as you will learn a lot. but leave once internship is over.

Pros

The software developers here are highly talented and experienced, and I learned a great deal from working alongside them. While some of the technology stack is a bit outdated, management is actively investing in modernization and genuinely encourages team members who want to drive those changes. I personally had a great experience working at this company. I was encouraged to take ownership and lead initiatives to improve and transform technical processes within the application. The company also invested in my growth by sponsoring fully paid trips to tech conferences in places like Las Vegas and Washington, DC, where I had the opportunity to connect with and learn from experienced developers across the industry. The projects I worked on here played a significant role in opening up new career opportunities for me, and I’m very grateful for that exposure and experience.

Cons

The tech team would benefit from hiring additional engineers and continuing to invest more aggressively in adopting newer technologies and modern development methodologies to support the application’s growth.
