Pros

The people you work around are one of the best parts of working at GA. Colleagues are smart, driven, and truly care about the vision and mission. GA sets high standards.

Cons

As with many companies at this stage of growth, GA is feeling some serious growing pains. There's been a high amount of turnover, especially during the latter half of 2016. Sometimes the bar is set a bit too high to be achievable or realistic. Talent retention efforts are next to non-existent, even for high performers.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and build experience with Fortune 500 and 1000 client projects, can offer flexibility since the work is 100% remote and contracts are on a per-project basis. Can be great for career growth if you're motivated to work hard and hustle

Cons

People are spread very thin on lots of projects, timelines can be very rushed and high-pressure. This can be a result of client pressure, but also frequently comes from internal issues with communication and poorly defined scope of work.
