Pros

Madison was an amazing place to live.

Great salary. Beautiful campus.

Cons

The tech stack is extremely outdated (they're finally transitioning to web, but I only worked with Visual Basic and Mumps).

My work consisted of fixing bugs in old code. The one project I was given was never even started because we could never get a design approved.

They try to sell you on how amazing the campus is. It's beautiful, but there's nothing beyond that.

Everybody drinks the Kool-Aid.

No working from home. They advertise flexible hours, but you're required to be in the office by 9.

All in all, they compare themselves to Google and Facebook, but the perks don't even come close to comparing.
