Pros

- A good way to learn the industry; a good company for new college graduates or for people at the end of their career. - Benefits are above average (health insurance fully paid for, good PTO)

Cons

- Your job satisfaction will greatly depend on your location, work group, and manager/project director. - Expect that within some groups, there will be people who pull the majority of the weight, and then slackers who don't contribute a great deal but are buddies with the manager. These are the people who will be your leads, so don't expect a great deal of leadership. - In dealing with a specific client, our project director literally told us that we didn't need to tell them the truth, that we just needed to tell the client what we wanted them to know. Literally, we were told to "distract" the client. The director said it was like the Wizard of Oz "you know, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." So just be aware that this is the kind of management mentality you are dealing with and they are treating YOU the same way. - Cult of personality around the CEO. - Pay below standard - As mentioned in other reviews, not a good company for growth/development. Best to get your experience and get out.

Pros

Time off when you're able to get it.

Cons

If you are a high performer, be prepared to take on the workload of others. The company does not consistently hold underperformers accountable, which often leaves stronger employees constantly cleaning up the gaps. Hard workers tend to get burned out quickly. Work life balance is a significant challenge. It’s common to work through vacations, as you are expected to find coverage for your responsibilities while you’re away and reliable coverage is difficult to secure. This can create added stress both before and during time off. Overall, the environment may be manageable for someone who prefers a slower pace, but overachievers should be aware that their workload will expand without additional support. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Lack of accountability for underperformers, which leaves high performers constantly left to fix their mistakes.
