Pros
There is one, almost unanimous, pro to wowzers...and that is the team. This was by far, the youngest, most talented, intelligent, and fun group of developers. Everyone has bright futures ahead of them as experts in their fields. Despite numerous obstacles, oppressive working conditions, and managements inexperience consistently moving the product towards failure, this team kept this company alive. In my opinion, this was the only pro to working for Wowzers.
Cons
The code base: As a developer, the code base was extremely disorganized, proprietary (more so than usual), hugely over complicated, and therefore difficult to work with. You will not be able to join this company and learn the code base quickly, it can take several months to learn how it all comes together. The reason it is like this is because of the wide range of development experience with Actionscript and OOP paradigms. The majority of the engine is lacking in good design, and features that keep it closed for modification, but open for extension. Conversely, some of the engine is very elegant in its latter development components. Upper management: During company changes and moving to new office locations, the development team was asked to move their equipment, desks, and chairs. The upper management would not hire a moving service. Not only is this extremely unprofessional, but it has happened multiple times. The current office location is an apartment, which is not a conducive working environment. Do not expect your opinions about working conditions to be heard. Unfortunately, upper management knows very little about software development. They have a "my way or the highway" approach to this product and the team, which is where most of the problems stem from (ie - premature releases of the product, low team morale, etc). Extremely low team morale: If this company is around for any longer, it won't be with the current team. The changes in the company have been very inhospitable. Employees have the ability to work entirely remotely if you are not on the development team. The development team on the other hand has to be in the "office" as upper management decides for each week, despite it being almost completely unnecessary due to limited crossover between roles. Other cons include: Almost no benefits besides the basics Low pay (Much lower than industry standard) Often times working on weekends as senior developers to meet deadlines
