Pros

You can get a lot of responsibility and can learn fast. This because teams are severely understaffed. Big clients, (too) ambitious projects.

Cons

Acquisitions keep on coming, company is getting more and more chaotic and understaffed. Low pay, empty promises regarding more openings, reviews, raises, prospects in general. Work overload. Junior employees work weekends and late nights (nights, not evenings) regularly. Employees that go out of the way to get things done are not recognized for it, and if they are they are they get nothing in return. Talent is leaving. Quality is going down, as there is too much to do while there are not enough resources made available to the teams. People are stressed out if not burned out already. Higher ups can be disrespectful and even abusive. Culture of not speaking up nor correcting anyone that does wrong.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
