Pros

People are easy to get along

Cons

Look around the company. Either management or technical path, almost no non-white in the upper positions at Olathe HQ. Well, just like other area companies in the midwest. If you are one like myself, think twice before you come. If you are a beginner in the industry, then you can come to gain some experience. If career growth is your top priority and you don't want to work for those with little tech knowledge or education, you need to think otherwise.

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance. It's a good culture and I've never worked at a place where your immediate peers are this helpful and pleasant to work with, even across teams and offices. If you want to just come in and do just what is required for your job and go home with the knowledge you have a stable job, this is the perfect place to work. I'd only recommend working here if you just want a job, but don't care about a career.

Cons

There is poor career advancement, especially if you aren't male. Leadership does not care about leading people. The RTO has made working here less appealing. The excuse that you can't collaborate unless you are in the same building makes no sense when you work with people in 6 different countries. It is about control and appearances, all due to incredibly poor senior leadership strategies. The pay is also low and so is the quality of the software you work on. Leadership likes to talk quality, but they like fast and cheap. They will not support you in actual software quality nor implement changes to improve it. The same issues happen over and over without improvement.
