Pros

they pay well. they do give me a good career opportunities for moving around (because you end up being treated badly on each project and wanting to move.)

Cons

i've been with them for three years now, and I've seen them treat myself and other diverse candidates like disposable, second class employees, no matter how much we contribute and no matter how much the customer celebrates us. Everyone ends up leaving. they have tons of discrimination lawsuits. I mean there are several, a multitude of them. also, the benefits they offer are absolutely horrible. Health Insurance is expensive and almost everything you do you end up having to pay out of pocket.

Pros

Current Leadership: The management structure has stabilized significantly, and my current supervisor is excellent—supportive, engaged, and great to work with. Excellent Team Culture: The coworkers here are fantastic. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and the team is incredibly supportive. Strong Compensation & Growth: The base pay is competitive and fair, and there is excellent opportunity for extra pay and overtime. From a professional development standpoint, I have learned an immense amount in my field over the past year. Enjoyable Travel: Excellent opportunities for work-related travel that adds great variety to the day-to-day routine.

Cons

Management Inconsistency Early On: My first supervisor took zero interest in team well-being, or development and the second had significant temperament issues that ultimately led to their departure. While it has been resolved now, Apparently management here like a lot of places is hit and miss. Heavy Workload: The workload can feel a bit overwhelming and intense at times. Striking a consistent work-life balance remains a challenge under the current demands. Role Expectation Mismatch: Some of the technical responsibilities and projects I have handled since joining were not clearly outlined or explained during the interview process. Navigating these unstated expectations alongside an already heavy workload has been a significant challenge.
