Pros
- If you communicate concerns, upper staff will listen - Strong comradery among staff - Variety of local government projects (parcel, utility, parks and rec, web GIS, automation, integrations, field collection/drone) - Remote - Somewhat flexible schedule - Opportunities for trainings - Some travel (if interested) - Consistent raises - Recent complaints and concerns have been heard and improvements are happening - Overall, the client relationships are great and are repeat so you can become invested with customers and their organization
Cons
- Can be disorganized, depends on the PM - Can be hard to find resources from past projects (see first bullet) - Being billable is priority. Expected at most/all consulting firms - Remote if not in Raleigh - Little opportunity for conferences/meet ups - Technicians can get stuck if they do not go above and beyond their duties
