Pros

Great work/life balance, remote schedule is pretty flexible. We are not micromanaged. Tons of opportunities to learn as a newer developer - lots of classes offered, many self paced learning tools available. Decent benefits and nice 401k program

Cons

End of year bonus is tied to company gainshare factor - when the factor is low bonuses will be very small. It is not related to your personal performance. Promotions from entry level to intermediate can be challenging- there seems to be an emphasis on spending 2 years at the company, rather than focusing on skill level. If your manager does not schedule you for promotion at the end of the fiscal year, there is very little chance it will go through the following year. PTO takes forever to accrue as a new hire.

Pros

Pay is alright for starting out, especially compared to some places. Benefits are decent. Management is generally supportive. If you don't mind sales and taking calls literally your entire working shift, then this could be a great fit.

Cons

If you don't want to be on the phones back-to-back all day your options are extremely limited, and getting smaller as time goes on and A.I. allows them to close departments like mine and others.
