Work with great people, overworked, under paid

Applications developer

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexibility to work from home. The 3% stock match. Casual Dress to work.

Cons

Location sucks in Troy, AL. You get used to shopping at Food World, Piggly Wiggly, and Walmart and the 2-3 good sit down places. The night life is practically non existent and rent is high for the location and options very limit. Health care is not comparable to other tech companies.. I know this because I had could have work at others

Pros

Good for new college grads without a family to support.

Cons

Pay is significantly below the national average. The excuse is that cost of living is lower. The cost of living in the area is actually right at the national average. Health insurance is crazy high. $7k deductible for a family.

Decisions are made from the top. Managers and employees have very little control over departmental or career direction.

Pros

If you can wear multiple hats both technically and professionally you will fit in with this company. Don't get confortable though, because this company will drop anyone at the drop of a hat if you do not fit into their current plans, fail to meet ambiguous quotas, make too much money, or don't fit into their "culture".

Cons

Prepare yourself for culture shock and double speak. While the company proudly proclaims it's success is due to the equal balance of interests between the three major stake holders (the share holder, the client, and the employee) the real focus is almost entirely on making money, so the share holder benefits the most, the clients come in a distant second, and the employees are left to sink or swim in the last place in the pecking order.
