Pros

1) High salary compared to big companies in Portland 2) Telecommunication, home office, and transit perks 3) Great culture (e.g. respect, employee-centric, ID&E) 4) Diversity (e.g. LBGTQ+, multi-cultural) 5) Insurance is very good and they cover most of the premiums 6) Very supportive for work/life balance. Most employees will only be assigned to one client at a time, which prevents burnout. 7) Strong financials for a private company

Cons

1) Only 7 holidays (No Christmas Eve) 2) No 401K matching until 1 year anniversary 3) Wish there is more equipment provided (only one laptop, one monitor). No docking station. 4) Small office - cannot accommodate 150+ employees....only 35 desks. For those who like to be in the office, you will always be working from home.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
