      Pros

      Good PTO, benefits, colleagues. Reputable firm.

      Cons

      In this role, you will frequently interact with referral representatives whose honesty is questionable, alongside prospects who typically show little interest in engaging. Leadership within the Virtual Client environment have a consistent track record of dangling a carrot in front of you and then suddenly changing goal posts or making major changes. Promises of bonuses, promotions, etc. are common, but the criteria and timelines of these incentives frequently shift without warning leaving people feeling misled. During recruitment, expect assurances of compensation, bonuses, yet, these statements are rarely upheld after your hiring date, as the terms seem to change abruptly.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
