Pros
- Long running professional relationships with the team - Nice break room - Personal Trainer - Thorough QA team - Fun for the first few months
Kontras
- Horrible and useless health benefits - Uncompetitive pay scale - Raises uncommon at best - Promotions almost non existent - Extremely disorganized and difficult to please upper management - Owner tended to play favorites with his "in crowd" managers, even when they were inept at their jobs - Ridiculously high turnover. The entire engineering department turned over in less than 2 years - No formal training opportunities - Married to the Microsoft tech stack, zero consideration for any tools not built by Microsoft directly - Zero major releases and only 2 minor releases during my 2+ years. It's a software company. This is completely unacceptable - Once anyone shows even the least bit of initiative the management gets paranoid about losing their jobs and make life miserable for their teams
