Pros

Great work environment, heavy focus on working as a team Great first job since you get exposure to many different types of work that looks good on a resume Opportunities are given to those who work hard Can dictate your own career path to some extent You begin immediately on a client - your training is specific to what you will actually be doing Periodic fun events and free food

Cons

Raises will always be a percentage of what you currently make (roughly 0-10%) regardless of promotions. This was a significant reason for many of my peers departure from the company. Your experience is greatly determined by your client team. You begin immediately on a client. There is training, but oftentimes you are expected to learn from your teammates (who can range from great trainers to very poor) until you can be put in a large group training

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
