Pros

The software developers are great people and very willing to help you.

Cons

It's blatantly clear this is a first job for many of the employees and it shows. If you're looking for professionalism, you'll find none at this company. They low ball all the software programmers and pay top dollar to upper management who're clueless as to how to run a software company. They outsource the original software to an Indian firm and then expect a bunch of under paid USA software developers to clean up the code on an unrealistic time-frame. You will not learn anything about good programming from this company. The team has adapted to unacceptable programming practices and upper management is unprofessional. Management released a product without it being ready (and without proper security), a management team with half a brain wouldn't release alpha code to a paying customer. You're better off skipping this company and finding a company using programming standards and that has proper management.

Pros

- Relaxed, calm and creative environment to learn new technologies and expand your knowledge and expertise - Modern tech stack with smart, thoughtful and wise senior developers - Soft deadline approach gives developers ample time to do the best work they possibly can do without feeling much stress and pressure from management - Great company to start out as a junior developer or a developer that wants to ride out their career until retirement

Cons

Although there are many pros to working at rational, no company is perfect. There have been many closed door conversations from management that senior developers are not included in. There have been multiple "uprisings" I have witnessed from passionate senior developers that stirred up the worst in them and had to leave the company. Some also have chosen to continue to work there with a horrible attitude. I believe that management lacks EQ when is comes to leadership positions but everything is a learning experience and we are all human beings.
