Pros

Fairly stable work environment. Flexible time off (in other words unlimited PTO) was encouraged. Annual stipend for professional development was generous. Mentorship program was cool and something I haven't heard of other companies doing.

Cons

That 10% bonus a recruiter will tell you is "guaranteed" is a lie. It's based off of profits so get ready for a .3% bonus and an apology each quarter. When I was on projects I didn't feel like I worked at Core, it felt like I worked for the client. When I was no longer on a project, all those relationships I'd built were just gone. When you get benched you're all alone just learning new technologies and trying to stay motivated. Being on the bench for 5 months made me feel like I was stagnating in my career and there were no new available projects on the horizon. It was truly a waste of time. I'm not even sad to be done with this company, I'm annoyed that now I have to job hunt. Good riddance

Pros

The benefits were decent and the flexibility was nice. Appreciate the multitude of opportunities to network and travel. Some of the folks are really awesome and helpful.

Cons

Absolute trash at training anyone. Expects green engineers to know 10+ years worth of stuff that Principals would find difficult. If you manage to overcome all that and still make things work, you still get fired because management has an ego and hates seeing someone self taught and a minority succeed. Was set up to fail from the moment I was begrugendly brought on to the team.
