Pros

Great work life balance, supportive culture. Invests in employees certifications. Great HQ staff. HR onboarding process great. Festive holiday parties (pre-COVID.) Great employee recognition program.

Cons

Consulting practice run by more junior employees. Experienced employees might have a hard time joining this team due to this, as well as an awkward interviewing process. Lack of communication during the (internal) hiring process was frustrating. Growing company needs to move away from thinking like a small company, less unanimous by-committee decision making. Employee review process awkward; each employee evaluates each other, which leads to inevitable criticisms of one another, which I feel doesn't help employee to employee relations. Not (enough) women in the upper ranks of the company.

Pros

Ceo is good. Good benefits. 401k, medical plan is good. Decent pto policy. Wfh and remote work policies are good You get to work on mission critical systems and can see impact.

Cons

There is no respect of your personal time. Some dev/delivery Managers have no engineering background except of a degree and they cannot offer solutions. Hence, the dependency on team is so high for every little thing. Folks higher up in the chain engage in activities that violate code of conduct and ethics. Work spouse are common place here. Some people are home grown and in leadership positions and do not know how to handle crisis, and large programs. Some leaders get to move around easily when they cannot handle work complexity, and pressure and due to this genuine folks have to suffer (in short rules bend behind scenes) (open bias). Leadership will stand for their favorites [bias] and save them even after failing to deliver and innumerable customer escalations. Few architects shout and believe they know it all.
