Pros

Comfortable office in an area with easy metro access and some nice places to eat for lunch. Good amount of diversity and you will meet some really cool characters.

Cons

Oof. The biggest con is a little hard to quantify but ultimately the atmosphere of fear, micromanagement, and gaslighting was on a level I have never experienced before. In my short time there I saw dozens of people quit or get fired on the spot. A common theme over the years seems to be that firings will happen with little prior notice, always make sure you have a backup option available just in case. Despite the recent expanded contracts with the VA, the IRS, the treasury, and Medicare (along with bunches of other entities) the employee benefits are cut to bare minimums. Less PTO, stricter metrics, and increased workload. But hey you will get a message thanking you for working OT and being away from your family all the time! Yay. On a more personal note, I just also don't agree with a CEO who uses bible verses in public announcements on Slack. Says almost everything you need to know.

Pros

- Competitive base salary - When the product works, it creates real value for customers and solves meaningful problems - Opportunities to travel and work directly with Fortune 100 brands - Some incredibly talented people genuinely care about building something great

Cons

- Employees quickly become numbers in a culture of digital Taylorism. Even top performers are expendable. I was recognized as a Presidents Club recipient and laid off just three weeks later. In 4.5 years, I had seven different managers. - The company markets itself as a veteran-owned, mission-driven business, but decisions are overwhelmingly driven by growth and shareholder value. The veteran identity is a marketing strategy rather a genuine internal commitment. - OTE compensation plans are overly complex, frequently change, and make it difficult to understand or accurately predict earnings. - The company is effectively run around one person’s ego. Senior leadership seems more focused on reinforcing it than challenging it.
