Pros

Best job ever! I really loved the lack of work-life balance. It was like a gift that kept on giving, every night and every weekend. Couldn’t get enough! As an egomaniacal person myself, I was really challenged to compete with the best. They made me totally rethink the direction of my moral compass and for that, I’m eternally grateful. I realized that I was taking my integrity a little too seriously. Ethics in software? Get out! That’s ridiculous. Working in an unrealistic, unsupportive, environment has always been a life goal of mine and I thought I found the perfect haven. Nailed it! I learned so much about how to hide the truth when you don’t have the resources promised to the client through a contract. In the past, I felt guilty about these things, but here, I was right at home. Why should a client know what they are paying for? It’s really none of their business. Making it rain! Sometimes I like to pretend I’ve made this really cool thing or claim that I can. People don’t really need to know if I actually made it as long as they think I’m a bad-ass and give me money. I found that my true calling is with people that feel the same. It’s been a real eye-opener and I’ll definitely use this tactic in the future. Overall, this was a very positive experience for me, I would highly recommend this job to anyone that enjoys being deceptive and treating employees like dollars and not like people. All good problems to have!! I would give 5 stars except for the fact that there are some decent people there that care. So they lose a star because caring shows weakness in my opinion.

Cons

You know, I can’t really think of anything. Amazing place to work.
