Pros

*On Wednesday you get free lunch *Experience for the resume *A wide array of projects to take on which can help build your skill set rapidly *The other developers are great and the team dynamic can be great when allowed to interact.

Cons

*Micromanagement from the president *Frequently have to fix issues caused in the application by said president *Some of the managers have the tendency to punch down on others when they get punched down on by the president. *Communication is incredibly poor. Both professionally and interpersonally. *Pay is incredibly low compared to industry standard. *Unwritten policies are common practice and you will be punished, either by shame or punitive action, for situations that are not part of the outlined policies in the employee handbook. *There is no HR department and as a result things are said, situations are mishandled, and threats are made. *The environment can be very damaging to your mental health. High stress, high conflict, you don’t ever really know when it’s safe to speak your mind or when you’ll get yelled at for it, and you feel like you’re constantly being watched.

Pros

Small company that has a large foot print in the Rental Car industry. Continues to grow in all aspect of the industry. Your input is taken into consideration if you can make a good case for your reason. Get 80 hours of WFH that you can schedule and WFH on Fridays They try to hire newer developers

Cons

With being a small company you can get a lot of pressure to get projects done quickly

Pros

Good opportunities to experiment with stuff. The company is poorly organized so you have more freedom to try stuff out and learn different technologies if you can justify it for your given tasks, just don't expect any help from leadership.

Cons

Micromanagement. Felt like I was in a scene from 1984 every day. Upper management regularly chastised and even yelled at people out in the open for everyone to here. I also feel like most of the postive ratings on here are from people that are in the inner circle or positions of leadership that either are just blind to the reality for the lower level employees or unfornutately it wouldn't surprise me if they were intentionally bumping up the ratings on here. When I was talking with recruiters looking to find another job it was common knowledge among them that Ace underpaid and did not have a healthy company culture.
