Pros

Cinder is a great place to get your foot in the door in the tech industry. The recruiters are excellent and can get a good idea of where your skills are needed. After you start work, Cinder is pretty hands-off, which is great when it comes to staffing agencies. I was able to move up pretty quickly from the validation side of things into the automation side which is what I wanted to do, and there's room to move into positions with the company that you work for.

Cons

Cinder itself isn't really interested in retaining employees, so the compensation + PTO is lower than the market rate, and raises are small at best. The work is great, but it's best to stay at Cinder for a couple of years at most and then jump to a better offer.

Pros

- Good people recognizing and hiring other good people to work with - Easy to reach out to leadership and HR for questions, requests, etc

Cons

- Susceptible to budget cuts passed down from customers, but they've been getting better at keeping their staff in the loop and informed as soon as possible
