Pros

Benefits are decent, about the same as other companies. Vacation is better than others depending on your experience. You get 17 days of PTO with less than 5 years of experience, accrue them at about 4.4 hours per pay period, and can bank up to 300 hours. More experience = faster accrual up to 8 hours per pay period. Culture is generally pretty good and they are a relatively progressive company compared to others in the industry. They offer a mentoring program.

Cons

No sick time in addition to PTO Learning skills and developing your career is more on the sink or swim side but not as bad as others. Utilization targets for most staff range from 70 to 90%. Proposals are not considered billable hours. Billable hours can be hard to come by when you’re starting out, but within about a year you’ll have plenty of work. PMs and Principals are generally extremely busy.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience in the field Thorough onboarding and training Covered a required certification process Will help immensely for my future Overall, friendly and helpful employees

Cons

6:30 a.m. start time was a tough adjustment, but I ultimately got used to it. I did cry at the end of my time there, because I knew I would miss the people.

Pros

Due to a lack of management accountability and organizational structure, employees often experience a high degree of autonomy, as there is limited oversight of day-to-day activities.

Cons

The company has experienced substantial changes in executive C-Suite leadership, and current management appears disconnected from the realities of supporting and engaging employees effectively. Ongoing organizational restructuring makes it nearly impossible to build a consistent career development plan within a given role.
