Pros
- Opportunity to work on multi-million dollar projects - Most of the clients are from the tech industry, which signifies steady business (even during times like Covid) - Fantastic learning due to the complexity of the projects - A lot of traveling (inside and outside the US)
Cons
- It's a mean-girls culture. If you click with the main group, you'll grow within the company. You don't really know who you can trust. - You need to stand up for yourself constantly and set boundaries. Managers can be very abusive with what they need from you. - Some clients are great, some are also abusive. The agency lets them for the sake of keeping the business. - Little to no appreciation for the hard work you do. They'll belittle you pretty quickly if you make a mistake. However, to mask the fact they care they'll robotically throw the phrase "Your work doesn't go unnoticed". - The pressure is insane; it gets worse when you are onsite. - They hire travel directors to execute the program onsite, but most of them act like they know more than you and are extremely hard to manage and get respect from. - The pay is not great - Absolutely NO work/life balance - I have seen SO MANY people start and quit immediately. Truly a turn and burn place. - Sink or swim culture. Even if you urgently need something, the answer is : "Did you look in the handbook?" It would be a lot faster and easier to indicate where the information is for the new employee. If that repeats, it is the employee's fault, but if it's the first time they are asking, it's just mean.
