Pros

WebFilings can be fun to work at if you are on the right product team. It's a mostly unstructured environment that allows room to fix technical problems across teams. The benefits package is complete and average for a hi-tech company outside of CA. It offers a flexible work environment with flex time and the ability to work from home. WebFilings uses leading-edge technology for both infrastructure and products. There is little to no internal politics. The company has a good focus on the customer in product design.

Cons

Salary is mediocre to below average, not equivalent to the work load and travel expected.

Some teams are high stress with long hours without realistic goal setting from project managers.

Could benefit from managers who know how to work with people.

No product training for new developers.

Confusing HR processes, although HR staff themselves are very friendly.

Confusing reporting structure.

Advice to Management

Watch for burnout among your developers. Try to help employees succeed and give them clear direction. Developers need downtime; mix easy projects in with the hard.
