Pros

The management team is pleasant. Decent benefits (work from home, health insurance, 401k, PTO), good clients.

Cons

They don't handle mistakes well. Lack of resources and tools makes it hard to complete a necessary task. They are very hesitant to accept new ideas to help improve processes.

Pros

- Pleasant staff - Culture can be fun - Work from home Friday

Cons

It is a very sales-driven organization where projects are often started before resourcing is properly thought out. Contracts can be wildly inaccurate in terms of hours and effort a project will take or so open-ended that clients can reasonably ask from their POV you to do whatever, whenever. So it's up to the execution people to meet these expectations without having the needed resources, e.g. burnout. They also blend different roles and seniority levels inappropriately imo, i.e. project managers = account managers = senior specialists = content managers = everything = nothing. Sorry, if you need to design, write code or build a program on a deadline, you shouldn't be thinking about ways to expand a scope that you haven't even finished yet. Sales can work on sales, let other people do the job they signed up for. It's up to management to know who is working on what and when, not for junior people to "improvise" as they go.
