Pros

- Ric is truly a great CEO. He is a transparent guy with a solid moral compass. He is a lifelong learner, and that has garnered him much success. - A lot of the people there are great to work with and get to know - Great opportunity for those getting into programming - Excellent hardware will be provided to those who ask - Beautiful campus, I enjoyed taking walks and working on the many balconies - Low cost of living in / around Fort Mill, SC - Company trip was a nice opportunity to see Cancun

Cons

- The people in leadership positions in the technology department have big egos, a lack of general respect, and not a lot of technical understanding. - Low pay for the industry, even considering the cost of living. - No process to speak of - not even pull requests or code reviews. Lack of planning or process leads to rewriting the same project 5 or more times for all product teams. - (along with the above) No real project owners/managers, QA, scrum masters

Pros

Strong ownership, opportunity to manage people early, great people, nice campus. You will work on interesting problems and external companies. Great training if the space interests you.

Cons

Business future is uncertain, up or out management principles. New senior leaders somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day. Commute from Charlotte is horrible.
