Pros
Some very smart people who are genuine about the success of projects and working as a team. A lot of innovative ideas to address needs in the market. Somewhat unstable and difficult to troubleshoot given the amount of 3rd. party and open source software used to code and interact with the application.
Cons
No quarterly bonus is becoming the norm. T&M model, along with tracking daily time down to 30 min. increments, submitting a very granular time sheet every Friday and being reminded to open a time sheet before Monday can make one feel like a child vs. a technical professional. Annual comp. increase is below par. Application somewhat unstable and difficult to troubleshoot given the amount of 3rd. party and open source software used to code and interact with the application. Very touchy. One minor file tweak can impact a major component and be extremely difficult to solve for. Middle and upper management in some areas have become a revolving door with very senior staff leaving and new staff being asked to leave in a relatively short period of time. Sr. tenure staff seem to leaving in general if they can get out and find something else equal or better.
