Pros
SAWSoft focused on agile software development with a development team forward mentality. From the beginning, it was a business goal that developers spend no more than 10% of their time in meetings (excluding direct customer interactions) and that management would grant them the maximum flexibility in the "how" of the development.
Cons
The project that was the basis of the company was successfully completed and handed over, leading to the closeout of the company.

Pros
Decent internship opportunity that will help you break into the field. Decent agile development and general Software Engineering experience . Only thing valuable about working for Sawsoft is proper professional Software Engineering experience. The dev team consisted of very talented, professional, and laid back workers.
Cons
As everyone has mentioned, I would *highly* recommend to not consider SAW Software Mill as an option for a secured salaried job once you are ready to commit to a company. They laid off a big portion of their workforce twice in the span of a year and a half. The first time they did it resulted in a massive brain drain and the newly hired workers had to learn many aspects of the product without formal training. The second time just happened recently. Pay is laughable. As a full time Software Engineer, do not expect to get anywhere close to competitive pay. As an intern, the pay is still low but good enough to sustain a college life while obtaining valuable experience! Management obviously knows a lot about construction management, however they lack the ability to effectively coordinate with technicalities of the product. This wouldnt be an issue if the dev team had a more direct form of communication with the customers.
