Pros

Very kind hearted and well meaning environment: your coworkers and management really care about you. Fantastic benefits and company culture.

Cons

Management is full of very young, very inexperienced managers. Work load is a constant slog with little consideration for work/life balance. Compensation (outside of benefits) is poor, the main way of getting a raise or promotion is to leave the company after a year or two. Lots of employee churn.

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.
