Avantages

Work was doable without serious issues. Never had to work overtime or felt pressure to do so. Management was accommodating about shifting work hours around slightly when deadlines allowed for it. People were cooperative instead of competitive. Company seemed stable. Development practices seemed to be steadily improving. A few nice policies, like subscriptions to PluralSight so that we could upskill on the job between regular work. Hybrid work schedule.

Inconvénients

Poor project planning and tight deadlines. Opaque leadership (information withholding, dropping hotfix dates with very little heads up). Devs were generally brought into the loop way too late. Due to all this (among other things), projects wouldn't come out ideal at times, and collective stress levels could spike. Legacy codebase and tech stack, boring domain, boilerplate heavy codebase, highly questionable architecture, time-consuming test procedures, slow build times, lots of major inconveniences, all of which made it hard to stay engaged some days. Moderate amounts of bureaucracy made getting certain tasks done difficult, especially for projects. "Ask for permission" culture, instead of "ask for forgiveness" culture. Outdated style of measuring performance (Jira ticket quotas, defect count) which could be gamed. No reward for doing thorough code reviews or peer dev testing. Low culture of engineering excellence overall, Hard to find meaningful mentorship. Company was at an awkward size, making career growth opportunities very limited. Pay and benefits package was mediocre at best.

Avantages

Work life balance, co-workers that are helpful and never make me feel less than, flexible hybid schedule, a product/mission/leadership I am happy to work for.

Inconvénients

Not really a con since I am not experienced enough yet,.. but I just hope their pay increases match what is being offered in the open market as I progress in experience, I would stay here for life as long as I am not missing out on any financial opportunities that would help make my life more secure.

Avantages

Great corporate culture. Everybody above me in the chain of command, including the owner, is intelligent and treats people with respect. I wish that I had come here 20 years earlier. They invest in their people rather than treating us as number.

Inconvénients

Employment is mostly limited to the Cincinnati area, which is fine for me.
