Pros
The Digital Group: - Offers some competitive salaries for developers in Seattle - Has some interesting technical challenges - The group has a warm, welcoming feeling - Digital Group managers are technically minded and seem committed to improving the platform through: - Adding automated testing and tools - Cleaning up technical debt - Recognizing strong contributors with promotions (and some raises)
Cons
Worst benefits I've ever seen: - No health until the 1st of the month FOLLOWING 75 days of employment (so ~76-90 days) - One may not take vacation/sick/personal time for the first 6 months - No 401K matching for a year (and their match is only 0.5% per percent up to a whopping 2%) - No stock options for a year (actually typical) As for the Digital Group itself: - The group is growing rapidly, and has reached the point that organization, management, and finding ownership of problems has broken down - The group has too many poor- and non-contributors on the team that take up space and get in the way of progress
