      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits are great. - Job has a solid work/life balance.

      Cons

      - The company is a publishing company that thinks its a tech company. This leads to short sighted requirements and inadequate infrastructure support. - Constantly changing org structure. Significant realignment of personnel and objectives every other year. - Undefined career progression. Every developer is a Senior Engineer. There are no Junior Engineers and a handful of Principle Engineers but the work is all the same. - Good projects go to Philly. STL gets stuck with fringe/maintenance work.
