Pros
-Small company: you can see the result of your work. You see your ideas implemented. You talk to the owner in the same way you talk to your coworkers. The owner also behaves as a co worker.
-Flexible schedule: I can choose my schedule. I prefer to start early in the mornings. Others prefer to sleep a little longer and leave the office later.
-Great tools: I'm using Visual Studio 2012, Team Foundation Server, ASP.NET MVC 4, SQL Server 2012, jQuery 2.0.3, jQuery UI 1.10. There is a team using Power Builder because there is an incredible amount of work already made in Power Builder but we also need Visual Studio programmers.
-Room to grow: For the 2nd time, Insight Software has made the Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America (2012 and 2013) This list includes Microsoft, Timberland, Vizio, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle, and Zappos.com.
A note to the reader: There is another review giving 2 stars to the company and that is what compels me to write this one. These are some statements in that review that are simply not true:
"If there was any decent competition for this company, they would be in trouble."
I think it is hard to find a single business field in which there is only one software company providing services. Ours is not one of those.
"This company's software development methods are outdated. In terms of software development structure, there really isn't any..."
I already named the tools I'm using. They are certainly not outdated. We also use Team Foundation Server to follow a SCRUM methodology.
"But if you're a serious software engineer that cares about your career, this might not be the place for you."
On the contrary, in bigger companies is difficult to go up in the corporate ladder, all the good spots are already taken and it is also difficult to implement new methodologies. That is not the case here, there is room to grow and it's up to you to take the opportunity.
Cons
Small company: Not all processes are organized in the best way. This is a con but also an opportunity for you to fix things and grow.
