Pros

Great projects and a chance to work with excellent people from all over the world Friendly, informal and "family" style atmosphere Ability to do what you want with little top-down interference

Cons

Very little focus on career development, you are very much left to your own devices In-house training is straight from the 90s, and little opportunity for external training Leadership is absent and very cliquey, ultimately having little to no interest in staff at lower levels

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
