Pros

You get to work with high profile companies using cutting edge technology. The technical challenges are almost limitless. The developers are fun and young and generally a pleasure to work with.

Cons

A lot of higher managements people have been hired in recent times. As a result, the owner of the company likes to micromanage projects in an effort to remain relevant, going as far as reviewing a developer's code. Schedules are often very tight which can sometimes lead to "optional overtime" which is implicitly mandatory in the last days before delivery

Pros

The people are the only reason to stay, many very nice individuals, good dynamics between team members.

Cons

Poor management, CEO is very rude and micro-manages. People quit every other week, good talent is lost quickly. Lots of overtime with sub-average pays.

Pros

- Working with the latest technologies - Some good architects to learn from if/when time allow it - If you are OK to accept the issues of working with nVentive and put some efforts on your side, you can really learn fast.

Cons

- Chaotic lifecycle: Not Scrum, not waterfall, just custom where priorities can change just everyday - Software look great on surface, but nventive has it's own definition of "software quality" (eg.: forget about unit tests, we have QA...). It's not dramatic for short-lived software, but it's really bad if you want to learn some of the common good practices - Too frequent overtime that is unpaid, where the employees do not have much control over. - Constant pressure. It's OK to have some, but you probably won't have much relief between projects.
