Pros

-The pay is very, very competitive. -Remote work opportunities offer a means to balance work/life. -Travel/training reimbursements are paid out almost immediately. -Exposure to all sorts of tech/capabilities.

Cons

-You'll be expected to figure just about everything out on your own, from administrative process to training. -Outside of the onboarding process, there doesn't seem to be any sort of formal training or professional development/mentorship program. -Leadership is hyper focus on utilization and overall profitability. All my manager and I discuss is how to increase utilization (billable hours). -"The stock dropped $5...am I getting laid off next?" is tough to have hanging over your head.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
