Pros

• Start up feel • Great for self motivated • Some of the people are really nice, smart and great people to work with • Normal work life balance (Less than 45hr weeks on avg) • Bench time has been available but never was an issue (maybe because it is new) • Competitive Salary

Cons

• Start up feel • Par at best benefits • No structured on boarding • No structured processes across disciplines or across offices • Not using an effective Agile process • Very little team collaboration • Very little focus or importance on creative or user experience. Tech Shop not a Digital Agency • Limited client work and very little diversity at this time

Pros

Great work environment. Real commitment to diversity that goes beyond the surface level.

Cons

Thin spread of employees that results in a lot of work on each contributor individually.

Pros

Great well known clients & interesting projects.

Cons

There are no growth opportunities; people managers don't know how to lead; there are layoffs every 2 months for the past 18 months; there is no training (employees are told to learn on their own time / weekends) because if they are not >50% chargeable, they are on the RIF list. The company grew through acquisitions but never integrated or unified the various companies. There are no standard processes, everything is ad hoc. There were no raises this year and no bonuses either of the last 2 years.
