Pros

Remote/Flexible working location, good office culture (fun stuff happens!), lots of company discounts like on auto rates and many other coupons across the US.

Cons

Billable Hour Goal for client work - This is just time spent, but they use it to determine how successful you are. If you don't get a lot of work from your boss or if you do your work too quickly, you will suffer with this metric. It really makes no sense to use this as a performance indicator. Pay is lower than average. Seems to be a lot of red tape in terms of moving up or getting more opportunities.

Pros

Great low cost benefits, generous pay, remote work and great team environment

Onboarding is a little slow but once you get a flow, you’ll get up to speed quickly

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
