Pros

- Lunch or breakfast is provided every day. - Latest equipment, office supplies, etc. - IT Support was always very timely and knowledgeable. — I cannot say the same for HR. It’s days before you get any response to any questions. All HR comes from a rented service. And they made it very clear that they are only there to protect the company and NOT for the employees.

Cons

- The work environment is modern but extremely noisy and very crammed. - They do not have office phones. You MUST use your own phone if you expect to work on your first day, and with NO instruction on how to get reimbursed or warning. - Absolutely no ramp up time is allowed for new employees and they expect you to know every single product, front-to-back, on your first day WITHOUT any resources or materials to learn them! - There are never any documents except an SOW. ALL work, including development, infrastructure, testing, etc. is based on the SOW. Not an RFP, technical or functional specification document, infrastructure network, data flow doc, etc. - No information on their systems - how they work, limitations, security, infrastructure, etc. NOTHING is documented! - All development is done on-the-fly. There is no versioning, staging of code or releases for ANY products.
