Pros

They try to "promote" a "good" culture, if you're male and love the "bro" culture then absolutely. Free beer!! Decent benefits.

Cons

Never actually on vacation, flexibility is only for some of the dev shops not federal side. Very poor HR team, leadership is all over the place. Very poor work environment and no real interest in employee's work/life balance. Criticism is rarely helpful, it's mean spirited and aggressive. Once a mistake is made, it will never leave and it will then determine the trajectory of your career. CEO is aggressive, harsh, hostile and abusive. Women developers are either targeted sexually or basically called ugly and completely dismissed, there's no in between. It's all a good ole boy system and the leadership is greatly lacking in vision and long term sustainability. The development pool is only so large in Arkansas, pretty soon you'll run out of decent talent to run off.

Pros

Amazing people that do crazy awesome stuff every day. Benefits are normal, pay is slightly below average, but worth the trade off any day.

Cons

Customer demands sometimes have peak seasons and there are periods of less work to go around.

Pros

. There is little feeling of management having superiority. You can walk into the president's office and talk one on one at any time and discuss any concerns you have about the company's direction. . Can create any leadership role for yourself. . Internal projects pop up often, and there are lots of people who will help you with them. . They want to see you grow, and they will provide you with every possible mean to do so. . They have your back if your clients are terrible and are too demanding These are a few of the greatest things about Metova. A note of advice, if you are easily insulted and can't take criticism very well..Metova might not be for you. If you suck at your job, they will tell you bluntly, but that doesn't mean they won't greatly go out of their way to try to help you become better.

Cons

. Sometimes management can promise clients something that they didn't confer with their devs about. . Not necessarily a bad thing, but Metova is growing so fast that sometimes things can get very disorganized. . The goal of the company can seem to be shifting more towards Profits than their motto "Creating a great place to work." . The Franklin office feels almost like a frat house sometimes, especially the second floor. Dirty, random junk everywhere, and just crammed devs into wherever an open spot is.
