Pros

Workload, client focus, environment it depends on project

Cons

People and leadership I think it depends on the project but currently with my team its not working well. Micro management at its finest! Told us we are going to be hybrid but unfortunately it became full RTO which leads to people looking for new company/roles outside.

Pros

There is a sufficient amount of vacation and PTO time. The training program is solid. I also like all of my Team Leads and feel they are more than fair.

Cons

They insist on proof every time there is a system outage or issue. If proof cannot be provided, the employee is penalized.
