Pros

Numerous learning opportunities within the company.

Cons

Expect to work 50-60 hours per week and 70 + hours per week on busy weeks. Putting in the extra work won't get you anywhere, they expect it. You will also be expected to work outside of working hours to complete your goals that reflect on your end of year bonus (which is low bonus in general). If you are a female, be extra careful on how you speak. You're not encouraged to speak up or speak your mind. You will be reprimanded if you say something upper management does not agree with.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
