Pros

Friendly and collegiate coworkers Wonderful opportunities to work on cutting cloud computing services for implementation at federal environments; including FISMA, FedRAMP, DIACAP, DoD RMF. Leadership actively provides growth and development to the staff. I’ve learned more here in 6 months; than in my Big 4 career of 2 years.

Cons

The company is growing quickly and the typical growing pains that come with that are present here.

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.
