Pros

I enjoyed the challenge of my position as well as my co-workers. They are tackling some huge problems that enterprise customers face.

Salary was well adjusted for the work I performed, and raises continued that trend. Even though there was always a lot of work to do, I was never prevented from taking vacation. Management was supportive of keeping a good work-life balance.

Cons

Although they supported my work-life balance, management worked massive overtime. They never forced this down on us, but it was always the example that was set. It required having a strong belief in my need for balance to prevent attempting to work crazy hours. At times, the extreme scope of the problems we tackled and the number of events we had to juggle was stressful.

Advice to Management

As the company keeps growing, push the application lifecycle responsibility to the edge. Keep the team developing an application involved with the full lifecycle of it - from planning, testing, deployment, support, maintenance, and end-of-lifeing.
