Depending on the team you work in, you may have good work-life balance. They are flexible when it comes to taking a vacation, and you get 16 holidays a year.

They also have very good health benefits and 401k matching up to 8%.

The bonuses are really competitive, but if you meet your target, you need to work really hard. It looks good on your resume.

If you are a new college hire, this is often a bait and switch job offer. They would not tell you what you are going to be doing until after the initial training, which might or might not have to do with your future position. They do not have a good placement strategy after hiring you.

They do not have good software development processes in place. They tried their own flavor of Agile for a year, but it was not implemented correctly nor enforced.

They do not listen to their experienced college hires even after finishing the program.

You would rarely be challenged with exciting tasks. The work is very repetitive and does not allow you to improve your skills after a certain point.

Provide competitive pay to the college hires graduating the program.

Enforce and improve your development practices.

Do not give BAs all the power; they need to work with developers.
