Vantaggi
-it seemed like a decent starting wage for me. I was wrong, for the work, lack of cooperation/communication from other team members, I should have asked double.
Svantaggi
- The company is using technology that was last relevant about 15 years ago to develop and maintain their software - "Developers" (and yes, that belongs in quotes as they don't necessarily deserve the title) are working without any standardized methods of testing, developing, and no design specs for the modules they are working with (I asked, they had none, and couldn't provide me with the answers needed to complete my job). - "Developers" create DB tables willy nilly on the fly with absolutely no thought to schema, maintainability, or functionality. -"Developers" are expected to read Insurance specific technical documents. I'm a Programmer, not an insurance salesman. -For an entry level position for a student it appears to be a decent starting salary. But its not worth the headache. I'd recommend finding a company using relevant technology and not expecting you to be an insurance lawyer on the first day of working there, also a company where you can find someone who can mentor you along your path to becoming a fledgling programmer. NOTE: All positive reviews for the company are from the same day. If you want to take that as a sign about how bad it is to work there, then you'd be right.
