Pros

The boss is very lenient with any time off requests. Very good work/life balance. You are only expected to put in 49 billable hours a week which is nice. If you are not a morning person you will like this place. Even though core hours are 10:30-3:30 people can roll in whenever they feel like it.

Cons

If you don’t have thick skin don’t work here. It is the coldest, rudest place I’ve ever encountered. If you don’t understand something do not admit it as it is seen as a weakness. There are some nice programmers but that is not the norm. Some people are so condescending that it borders on harassment.. if you can’t battle you will be left on the side. If you are not among the bosses elite you will have no voice in the company. There is no pair programming, and you are constantly told to not bother other developers for help. If you do tech support you are not always informed about deployments, but expected to fix issues you don’t know about. You would think in an office of less than 10 that it would be a tight knit group, but unfortunately it’s not that way. If you are entry level you should definitely not apply. There is no career development. People are very opinionated and it’s a constant battle. If you complain to management about harassment you are told to accept it as this is just how the person is, you are expected to take harassing behavior. Make sure you monitor your paystub and make sure Cimulus gives you the benefits that are outlined in your offer letter, they will not make sure it happens, you have to push it.

Pros

Senior mentorship, work independently and on a team, lots of different projects, direct contact with clients

Cons

All hours are billable and must be tracked accordingly - not a big deal as long as you are someone who actually works while on the clock.

Pros

Expectation of hours and work load is exemplarity with few exceptions. A 9-5 is all that is ever expected. if a client needs or requests extra after hours times, it is always scheduled and approved a head of time with the developer. owner/seniors will go to bat for you if they think someone is just trying to consume your time for no reason, not only because it costs them money, but because it just wastes what is supposed to be your time. Pay is competitive and overtime is given when extra work/time is expected. there is absolutely not any "you should do extra because you should want to give more" nonsense. facilities are nice and modern. management is quick to get on top of landlord about any facilities issues. Managment/owner is accessible and open to suggestion. work from home very easy and accessible.

Cons

At first, learning to communicate in the office can be difficult. people in the office can be opinionated. this can be a little off-putting when you first start, but soon you realize that its actually them giving you latitude to also state your opinion with no questions about what is already on the table. can be a tiny bit cliquey in a way but it just takes time for that to wear away or for you to become part of the clique. there is a lack of process that can make starting on a new client somewhat difficult and murky at times. legacy systems can be very difficult to work with at times and very fragile at others.
