Pros

Great co-workers who listen to and help one another. A great benefits package. Fun work events.

Cons

-Work load is not balanced. -On-boarding and training of new hires (when I started) was the worse experience of starting with a new company I have ever had. No training other than watching web videos and then thrown onto client projects without having ever seen a project in work, methodology, or been trained in any way. -Travel isn't regionalized (many employees travel coast to coast) and travel time (often 8+ hours per day) isn't counted as 'time worked', so if you put in an 8 our day with a client and traveled 11 hours home afterwards and you only put in 6 hours the next day you are forced to take PTO for the remaining two hours. Seriously, this happened to me. -There are huge gaps between projects and employees are hounded about 'billable hours' without being anything to 'bill'. -When employees ask for direction or areas that management feels they need to improve they are given none and yet during review time they are seriously penalized for areas they didn't even know they were weak in. -Management is out of the loop with their employees, they don't ask questions or get clarification, they just act based on what others have told them. -Worked here over 3 years, no raise, don't see one coming anytime soon.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
