Pros

Peace and quiet of my own office

Cons

Isolation of my own office. Most departments on the Veris Group side were one-employee deep (finance, contracts, proposals etc), so everyone was burned out. Most were directors in name only. Only job I ever had where that title meant nothing. You’re not a director if you’re not directing anything. Lots of big attitudes and big personalities. Only job I ever had where my doctor considered placing me on blood pressure tablets.

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.
