Pros

It seems like an extremely unlikely place to find it but this place is a fantastic place to be a software developer. I've worked here a year and have liked it so much that I've referred 2 developers. There are extremely fun, diverse, challenging projects built on some of the latest technologies here. Management listens, provides a great environment, anything you need to do your job well and greatly encourages your growth and promotes a really awesome culture. The vast majority of your time as a software developer is spent on new development. New technologies like KanBan, Azure, TypeScript, LESS, HTML5, .net 4.5, are all used and promoted. Also, there is an awesome group of very talented developers to collaborate and hang out with. I personally love working here and know a bunch of other developers that feel the same way. I've been working for over 10 years at 6 different businesses as a web developer and so far this is the best place to work out of all of them.

Cons

Like with any software development shop, there is crunch time leading up to a release but that's normal and it is a very minor thing here.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
