Pros
The company has an extremely desirable culture - casual dress, flexible schedule/work from home, everyone has an office. The company is very collaborative with everyone having an open door to their office and whiteboards everywhere. A great team approach to getting projects done. There is no logging hours or entering work done. All developers participate in a Technical Roadmap meeting to collectively determine development processes and technologies to use.
Cons
Some developers may find a con in that the development projects don't always use the cutting edge tools and technologies. Other developers may appreciate that the development team collectively discusses and evaluates new tools and technologies before incorporating them into new or existing projects.

Pros
Compensation is decent and Projects involve helping kids and teachers understand the standards they are suppose to meet.
Cons
Management has almost no understanding of microsoft stack and frequently makes really stupid decisions. For example they had a powerful MVC application that they spent 3 years trying to roll back to web forms. After they failed at that because it would not scale they spent another 2 years attempting to use dotnetnuke because they thought it would work better. Finally they rolled back all their code from 5 years ago to get back to zero. They frequently fire developers with absolutely no notice when development protests decisions or if you do not fit into the culture. The optimal person for this company is someone who keeps their mouth shut and just follows all orders blindly regardless of how stupid they are. Performance does not matter at this company, the only thing that matters is you pretend to do what you are told. Seriously never work here unless your family is starving and you need a place to land for a few months while you find a company that will not stress you out like crazy.
