Pros

The pay is competitive. The hours are somewhat flexible if you are a student.

Cons

The work will wear your body down. The supervisors and leads cover for their favorites and leave the rest out to dry. There is little room for advancement if you don't have a bachelors degree or don't help fill a quota. Good workers get worked harder to make up for bums.

Pros

At least they had a cafeteria and lots of parking.

Cons

Every project was in the red, literally. Neither Waterfall nor Agile worked. Management was awful and the Business Analysts had no idea how to write proper functional requirements. All of this was thrown on the Developers with finger pointing and scapegoating leading to massive layoffs. The office was remodeled in 2011 with an automobile theme and it came out looking like a kindergarten. No promotion opportunities. I asked 3 times for a raise and was denied. After I couldn't take it anymore, I left and immediately got hired by a company down the street (not joking) for over 30% more base salary.

Pros

Great manager that supports and works hard for our department. My team is very collaborative and supportive. Lots of team training and help. Great products and a lot of potential to get back to being a great company

Cons

Upper management rules by fear. Lots of decisions made by upper management without knowing if they are feasible or good ideas. Upper management constantly promises things to customers without ever talking to the development teams. The healthcare network in the salt lake area is terrible. The dollar rules over ethics at times. Upper management is constantly pushing for employees to work overtime, with no compensation. Lots of witch hunts trying to find who made a mistake instead of finding a solution and moving on. Lots of decisions to release software without allowing for proper testing.
