Pros

- The people are great, despite the culture feeling really toxic at times - DeLorme's mission / product is really cool, despite being mismanaged / guided - The company attempts to use agile development practices ( which is better then not using agile I guess )

Cons

- outdated technology / stack - at the time, the company was perpetually "strapped for cash" - the culture is toxic, upper management and leadership seem to be living in their own DeLusions. I heard some really amazing / creative ideas from co-workers on how to improve things but management never seemed to listen or care

Not much opportunity.

Pros

Pace was relatively stable and slow....boredom can unfortunately set in when things go that slow. The company did match 401k which was nice. Easy to find motivation to leave. I owe my current career to the leadership of DeLorme. I now am a data department head myself, and I learned all I know from my experience at DeLorme. I learned these lessons by seeing all the things that don't work (and perhaps never did) and by listening to my dissatisfied coworkers at lunch or over walks.

Cons

Office culture was toxic at the time, always that 'sinking ship' feeling. Things went slow and pay was laughable. There were many rules related to productivity...or managements completely archaic ideas of productivity. Breaks were monitored, notes were taken by management on any non assigned activity, and there was an endless stream of mindless work. Automation was avoided while manual labor was applauded. I

Pros

Ample parking. Decent 401K. Many windows to look out and imagine a better job.

Cons

Old technology used and sold, lack of opportunity or pay increase. Micromanagement and completely disconnected communications between departments adding to confusion and quality of products.
