Pros: Great market presence in the industry. High salaries for starters. Great campus and lunch. Madison is also a great place to live in.

Cons: Laid back. Poor management. Employee interests come last. HR wonders why people stay after 2 years. Sort of a "use and throw" philosophy.

Pros: 1. food 2. money I am not a fan of the campus, honestly. It may look fancy, but it's not a park. When you work, you surely do think about those dragons and spaceships. But it is fancy. There are many nice people.

Cons: Madison is pretty cold and boring, but that's minor. The problem with the work is massive, at least for many apps in clinical. I can't say for all apps, but for my apps (a clinical app): * The disorganized codebase makes it very difficult to work with, thus not helping your coding skills. You are forced to fix the code, and eventually, you are part of it. * Outdated technology makes your skills useless. * The horrible testing process makes the quality a joke. * Constant escalations mean that projects are cut almost routinely. The mental stress is tremendous; you have to take that into mind. * Continuous bug fixing. You may spend 5 hours finding out who owns the bug, another 4 hours arguing who owns it, another 4 hours reproducing it, 1 hour writing 10 lines of code, and 3 hours in functional testing (no unit testing most of the time, especially in VB). * When you go to visit customers, constant complaints make you doubt what you do. But you will forget about it because they reimburse you for your fancy dinner. * All your friends and colleagues are gone; you can't stand it anymore. * Workload varies from team to team and from time to time. At times, you may work 60-70 hours a week; other times, you may be bored watching every YouTube video you missed. It's a mix. To be fair, this is not an issue at least for my app. * The DoD deal is doomed, sales are slowing down, and hiring is freezing. People don't care anymore.

Pros: Good food, pretty campus, great people.

Cons: Micro-managey, no flexibility with WFH, pace of work is slow.
