Pros

From the top down, ExtraTeam cares about their customers' success. The emphasis is on doing the job right and delivering what was promised. Really supportive group of engineers that are highly certified and experienced. Diverse range of clients and solutions keeps you on your toes. Veteran sales team who are fun to work with. Most have been with the company for 4+ years. Flexible work hours. Consulting engineers work remotely much of the time. Company will pay for professional certifications and training. Great holiday party. Promotes from within.

Cons

Pace doesn't let up, so you need to manage your time. You can keep a work/life balance, but don't expect the company to do it for you. There is no coasting in this job, so be sure you like to be challenged.

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.
