Pros
  • Smart, friendly coworkers who are good at getting things done.
  • Developer-oriented workplace.
  • Great meals that are highly discounted (although not free).
  • Cool campus with lots of art.
  • Great on a resume, especially if you stay in the Madison area.
Cons
  • Many strict, inflexible processes. Deadlines were automatically set as soon as you started working on something, and you had to talk to a team lead to change them. I was on a big team; I think some of the small teams were better.

  • Fairly long hours, and before deadlines, all developers had to stay until 9 p.m. some nights, regardless of what work they had to do.

  • Long commute if you want to live near Madison itself.

  • Outdated technology. I didn't mind Mumps, but VB6 is terrible. Hopefully, they've made progress on the transition to C#.
