Pros

I've met some really good people here. I love my coworkers. Pay is pretty good.

Cons

Any mentions of change and innovation are merely lip service. Solutions to problems are short-term, shortsighted, reactive, band-aid solutions (in all levels and departments). One such example is a recent round of layoffs after losing a client. Those let go had nothing to do with said client, and the rest of us are left with fear and low morale. Budget cuts ensure that we'll be looking at half-painted walls and wires hanging from the ceiling at least until 2018 (and they've been in that state for 9 months already). Even before that, the office was a dingy, depressing environment. Employee culture is nonexistent. Poor communication on all levels. My manager in particular is someone whom I neither like nor trust. They are unreasonably strict on allegedly salaried employees, and HR can't/won't do anything about it. I cannot be honest with them or ask questions about their latest arbitrary change to my job functions. I have a feeling that this manager is setting my group up for failure, so that they have reason to fire us.

Pros

Above average starting rate for the guys. 86k. Less for the gals with the usual carrot on a string for them. We still love the knee-jerk management to make us all good look while in crisis mode.

Cons

No organization chart. Who's my manager? No documentation. No job cycle flowchart. Blatant use of GO-TO statement programming. No sick days unless you count vacation days. 60hr work week not unusual.

Pros

The work at Venture can be interesting. The software that you are writing interfaces with machinery, and you must consider the physical product when solving products.

Cons

The culture at Venture is horrible. Co-workers are unkind at best, and create a hostile work environment. There are a lot of office politics at play, and you may find yourself as the scapegoat for an issue that you were not involved with.
