Pros

- If you're starting out your career, this is a pretty good choice. Everyone on my team (devs and QA) have all been amazing to work with. - Structure for raises is pretty nice - $1 health insurance is neat

Cons

- If you care about working remotely in any capacity, look somewhere else. The execs have shown that they REALLY want the peons in office given the switch from 1 day in office to 3/2 - 2/3 rotation. Highly doubt they won't try to force devs in office 5 days a week given how badly they treated QA. - Lack of planning recently and rushed deadlines. As part of the return to office, it was announced that part of the reason was to be able to prepare for "new, and exciting projects". That's great and all... except for the fact that for the projects we've had recently, we've had barely any time to plan, we're thrown deadlines that isn't possible without overtime, and we're constantly getting new / changing requirements. Really great experience right here. - The company really cares about your mental health... yeah not really. The technical department (dev/QA) was given the announcement for return to office in November/December, in the middle of the holiday season. How much time did they give QA before they had to return to office 5 days a week? A few weeks. Way to go team! Instead of enjoying the festivities, you gotta go figure out if you gotta move, find a new job, etc.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
