Pros

I struggle to find positives based on my experience, other than the fact that there are a few good engineers

Cons

There is no cohesion in the leadership or in the project direction. The company mainly works on European style projects, so growth is essentially non existent. At the moment, the project hasn’t gone into production and keeps being in a constant “it will be released soon” state, so in reality it doesn’t differ much from a university project.Aside from the few good engineers, the overall level is well below average. Knowledge transfer and feedback are practically non existent, also if you join a new team or a support team, preper yourself to deal more with documentation and reporting rather than actual coding.

Pros

Good pay and benefits 401k - 4% match Good PTO Healthcare plan - zero premium option Leadership promotes learning and development opportunities

Cons

Work is subject to the contract of their clients. No growth opportunities. The biggest client is going through cost-reduction exercises. Sword has struggled to gain clients in the United States. They have people dedicated to finding new clients but very little success.
