Pros

You can coast by being terrible at literally everything. If you just stay around long enough you’ll eventually get promoted (in title only, not salary) without actually doing anything else. Oh and you can expense just about anything.

Cons

They’ll sell you on only doing project based work, but that’s a lie. No one knows this company outside of Richmond, so they struggle to get work. The executives can’t past their egos enough to realize this, so they only go after the big name companies who, if they even give them the time of day, only give them staff augmentation projects (aka just put bodies in chairs and do what we tell you). Getting involved in sales is the only way you’ll get past a certain point. The great thing about this is that you can lie and perform whatever unethical tasks it takes to lock down a contract. And once a project starts, the account managers have to continue the lies. Project falling apart? No it isn’t! Things are great and we’re lying to get the next project lined up! And finally, if they mention anything around diversity, it’s the biggest crock of garbage you’ll ever hear. Anyone that’s actually tried to make a difference here has been ignored or fired. There’s a reason you pretty much only see white men everywhere in the company. There’s a reason you rarely see women in any leadership positions that don’t involve HR, and even then it’s almost entirely white women. They’ve tried to rebrand themselves around this recently, but don’t be fooled. Nothing has changed. They can’t even make charitable donations or do community service projects without the end goal being securing another project with a big company that continues to ignore them. This place is awful. The leadership that’s paid to post positive reviews here to counteract the negative reviews is awful. The work is awful. Time spent here is a complete waste and will hinder your career growth.
