Pros

Warm culture and great people. Lots of focus on the positive company mission which is a great motivator. Free lunch on Tuesdays, unlimited vacation, free classes, fun holiday party, office kegs and you'll likely work with people who you grow very close to.

Cons

Burn out is very real and most only stay for a year or two. Management tends to be very green or overburdened themselves, which causes serious communication and work load issues down the chain. Development plans are not well discussed and work-life balance doesn't exist. You will be reminded that you work in education rather than tech when you request raise, and assume at best you will get 50% of your bonus.

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.
