Team Diversity. Open dialogues. Everyone has a voice. Flat hierarchy. Company Culture is deeply rooted. People care about each other's career development and happiness. They want everyone to fulfill their personal goals.

Both internal and external tools have sub-optimal UI / UX. The internal IM tool chime cannot compare with Slack.

Pros

* They take time to get you up to speed with AWS to help serve customers. Very impressed with the onboarding experience. * Plenty of opportunities for you to learn new skills that will help you professionally. * You are in a team that is essentially on cutting edge technology. * You get to make a very really impact on real customers.

Cons

* A lot of travel, however, this depends on the project you are handed. Typically a project lasts 4 months, so time varies. * Resource management is pretty poor sometimes. Meaning they have a difficult time matching people with the right skills to the right projects. Getting a "good" project which you can make an impact on is sometimes luck. * In professional services your team is typically scattered across the country. Hence, you do feel isolated at times. * Some projects lack proper project management. E.g. A project manger can only spend 4 hours a week on your project. This mean you have to pick up 80% of overhead tasks even though you are a technical lead consultant.
