Pros

Tremendous dedication to work life balance Interesting project. Not just the typical bland enterprise application / staff aug. work you find at a lot of other firms. Given opportunity to discover and become experienced in a range of technologies and not forced to be pigeon holed into one stack. Given honest and constructive reviews as part of career advancement. Very smart and interesting people. There's no sense of I have to be smarter than everyone else and have to show it off in order to get ahead. No travel and I can be at home with my family.

Cons

Not entirely sure how career advancement works before moving up to leadership roles. We have a pretty flat structure and don't have a sense of milestones to work towards before moving up to the next level. That said, I don't feel like I'll be 'stuck' by any means. I'm rather confident I'll be in a forward and upward position a year from now. The lack of structure here just might be jarring to someone expecting it.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
