Pros

Sprawling, well-landscaped grounds. Food was okay. Madison, WI is lovely, and it's decent pay for the region.

Cons

The product is a far outdated backend with effectively a VB front.

Old technology is less likely to break, and this is a high-stakes environment. I totally understand.

Tech is still lame.

The first five to six months was entirely classroom training on a completely non-transferrable skill set (understanding, maintaining, and coding the backend), how to navigate the frontend, and basic fluency in the business area. The successful completion of this training lands you in an implementation team whose work/life balance is anything but.

Culture's got a culty vibe.

Advice to Management

Foster creativity. Top talent rarely wants to be a cog in an outdated machine.
