Pros

- The pay is fair, and the bonuses are decent. - The time off is great. - Most of the people are nice to work with and understanding. - Benefits are great and include: - Two levels of vision and dental plans - A variety of healthcare providers - Multiple tiers of deductibles - Supplementary insurance options - HSA and FSA options - If you know what you want to do and actively pursue it, you can progress and get involved in different things.

Cons

- There is a billable hour goal everyone must meet, which typically increases every year. - Meeting the billable hour goal is achievable but results in being busy all the time. - Most people work 50 hours per week, which is the expectation, though most do not get extra money for that. - Some colleagues are very intense and treat the job as their life, creating undue pressure to complete tasks at unreasonable times. - Although this pressure is generally avoidable with quality work, it adds to the overall stress of the day.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
