Pros

They have a good structure to provide feedback and training and let you get out into the field from the get go. People in general are very positive and encouraging and focused on doing good work, senior employees make an effort to be mentors. If you want to do training outside of work they support that but it's really up to you to go seek that out.

Cons

There was a lot of focus on being 100% billable for engineers, which isn't always realistic. Sometimes expectations for deliverables weren't clearly defined which led to scope creep, but that's common in consultancies. I found salaries and bonuses to be at the low end of the spectrum at least as a staff engineer.

Pros

Easy to get away with minimum effort. Just stay slightly above the threshold and you can cruise for years, if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Real lack of organization or structure. High staff turnover. 5 senior leaders/partners quit in 2016 to start their own firm. Leadership is poor. Pay is below market. Company is very top heavy. Bonuses and pay raises are low, and rare. Decision makers lack experience and often make the wrong decision. Two of the original owners retired in 2016. Extensive travel is expected with no reimbursement or recognition for weekend or evening travel or work. Outlook is not good for this sinking ship.
