Pros

The company maintains a very nice office space for customer meetings and demonstrations. Most of the technical engineers have many years experience, and overall everyone works very hard. The office location is easy to get to with plenty of parking. Compensation is often better than others.

Cons

Management style is unfocused, fragmented, and confusing to navigate. Project management skills are sorely needed. Not much opportunity for training or advancement. Extremely competitive environment makes collaboration almost impossible. Management frequently belittles and embarasses employees which frequently lead to moral problems. Lack of focus often leaves staff directionless. In the effort to achive vendor certification and recognition - the process of educating staff and respecting vendor licensing is often trown aside. Management is often arbitrary - there are no well understood guidelines or company policy.

Pros

After working for multiple IT companies my experience in the field covers the full spectrum of job styles. At some companies I'd seem to watch paint dry for 40.00 hrs a week on the dot while at others I'd be drowning ,clocking in at over 90+ hrs some weeks on frequent occasion. Neither types are enjoyable for your career or home life. After nearly a year with ExtraTeam I can state they are the perfect balance. I'm never bored, constantly improving and my work/life balance is respected. Being in IT there will always be some after hours work based on your project. Learn how to manage your own calendar and it's a breeze. There hasn't been one situation yet where my upper management has forced or expected me to work a ridiculous amount of hours. The engineers that compose our team are at the top of the field in my opinion and my personal experience and skillsets have happily increased since on boarding. ...And my wife loves me at this job far beyond any others in my past. A happy wife = a happy life.

Cons

With most engineers having packed schedules during normal business hours there isn't much time for random interaction in the team.
