Pros

The environment in UL Rails Development is far from what one would expect from such a corporate setting, the management is relaxed and friendly, the environment is nice and challenging, and you have endless freedom to take whatever path you want to solving a problem. At the time of writing this review (June, 2015), the Rails team is about 5 months old, so we're still growing and defining the preferred methods and teamwork strategies for Rails development, which in turn results in a very rewarding Agile enviornment.

Cons

The downside of the team being so young is that the salary is below average for a typical Rails Dev job, and the location is on the inconvenient side.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
