Pros
- If you are patient, LSS will always try to gear your job to something you want to do.
- You are not a cog in the wheel, constant improvement is always in effect.
- Look forward to being taken seriously and offering input immediately out of training.
-Flexibility touches many areas.
- Minnesota nice, in the sense that no one will really yell at you for anything, very low stress in development.
- Great networking.
- Fantastic planning and scheduling in development.
- Some system tools are very neat and useful.
- The software is interesting to dig into.
- Adjustable hours are a huge plus when you have other items outside of 8-5.
- As other bare reviews have mentioned, nickle soda and free coffee, hot chocolate, and tea.
- Dress code is low with polo's and slacks for men. Yearly raises and bonuses (others have complained that LSS does not pay well, and I wholly disagree. Most companies do not give out yearly raises).
- Benefits are out of this world.
Hope this helps as one of the more positive and clear reviews for LSS. Just like anything, you get what you put in.
Cons
- Obsolete internal tools/software.
- Learning curve can be very difficult and intimidating for many people. Hard work must be had to understand how things work and how things relate between departments.
- Poor communication for company-wide changes as well as inter-group changes.
- Documentation and searching for answers is a drawn-out, complicated process.
- Large inconsistencies between groups (mismatched deadlines and expectancies)
- The groups in charge of documentation and review are far stronger since I have started.
- Minnesota Nice
- Newbies only get one 4:3 monitor.
- People have a hard time making a new pot of coffee.
- People complain that the coffee is terrible.
