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
