Pros

Good Work Life Balance Good Work, from requirement gathering to final delivery

Cons

Some individuals in higher-level positions may not have the same level of expertise as expected for their roles. The increment process appears to be standardized and not strongly linked to individual performance. At senior levels, there seems to be a higher representation of female employees, which may create a perception of gender preference in certain situations.

Pros

Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

Cons

My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
