Pros

There's a great deal to learn from the code base because it's a perfect example of how to not engineer software. At times it was like embarking on a journey through time because their engineering processes are similar to those used in long-forgotten ages. There are no design docs, code reviews, requirements, or even SQA. So if you like your anti-patterns served with a side of spaghetti code then this is the place for you.

Cons

The salary looks OK on paper until you realize that you'll be paying almost all of your health insurance out of pocket. For the first three months you have no health insurance at all unless you pay for your own COBRA. Once the health insurance finally kicked in, I saw that my out of pocket costs rose 549% versus my previous job. It went from $41 a check to $225 a check. Many of the benefits they list in the job postings are make believe as well. They say there's a 401K but you can't contribute to it for 1 year. You also don't start accumulating PTO until after 3 months. They list "Tuition Reimbursement" as a benefit, but I didn't meet one employee who had ever managed to get a class paid for by them because there's no policy on paper for the reimbursement. The tuition reimbursement is dictated by Joffrey's whim, much like everything else there.

Pros

People are friendly, good work life balance. Good management. Company has a solid business model with good and steady revenue.

Cons

No major cons I can think of. Only thing I can think of is limited career development after you reach a certain level but this is true for virtually all small to mid sized companies such as this one so not really a con.

Pros

Work environment was laid back and not much got done most days so no real pressure to perform.

Cons

Benefits sucked, upper management are a group of misogynistic millennials who care less about support or morals, almost all of our clients were pissed about the way the spoftware functioned and they way they are treated, Overall toxic work environment and Noah was not involved with most of it so I can even support the CEO.
