      Pros

      My coworkers were both skilled and good to work with. Working on a team focused on producing good work is great. Over the years, I have recommended to others to leverage CommonPlaces for our technology skills. And I have recommended others apply to work at CommonPlaces, because I enjoy working here.

      Cons

      There are ups and downs on the todo list. I prefer having a constant of billable work to pull from. With CommonPlaces, I can find myself overflowing for 6 months, but then a lowell hits. This is when I focus on non-billable projects, but it affects metrics.

      Pros

      They have some great projects that are challenging. They follow industry best practices and don't pressure developers to take short cuts. The company has lots of infrastructure and implements what ever is needed.

      Cons

      The lower end clients don't appreciate how much doing things by the book and security costs. They except too much without paying.

      Pros

      This is very much a development shop: git, composer, moving to docker, etc. My first project here was a 6 month Drupal 8 build with multilingual, Solr search, calendars, forums, lots of content types, Drupal as an IdP, Google Accounts login, content moderation, comments, ratings, user profiles, 1000+ pieces of content, and a whole bunch of other things. It was a great project to work on and I didn't do it alone: backend developers, front end developer, designers, project manager, development manager. I worked on a team where my voice was heard and the technology was great. My current project involves new development using Drupal 8 + Laravel + Twilio all talking to each other. Once again, I get to use modern technology to solve problems. I really enjoy the company structure and culture. And I get to make cool development projects.

      Cons

      Still has some old, inherited sites... luckily in my months of being here, I've only had to touch Drupal 6 for a few days. I'm not as big a fan of the hosting setups and hosting workflows here, but I do see management working to fix these. Some progress since I joined. Parking isn't the best. But it's Manchester.
