Pros

Starting wage isn’t bad if you don’t undervalue yourself in the hiring negotiation. Benefits are good but expensive. There are Christmas bonuses and free coffee! They do a lot of employee events and charity if you’re into that sort of thing. Had free booze at the Christmas party

Cons

People especially leadership does not listen. Communication is lacking in every way. Raises are an insult. Company must spend big funds throwing all these unnecessary events for employees when they could pass that money down in raises or bonuses. Employees are forced to use agile in every project even though it causes non stop problems when you have deadlines. Most employees don’t even understand what agile is let alone how its suppose to work which is where a lot of problems come from. They force the use of agile but not the education of it? There is a ton of inexperienced people in leadership roles that do not need to be leading. Not because they’re bad people but because they seriously do not know how to lead and we are not afforded time for them to fail so they can learn to lead. Leadership doesn’t respect you or your knowledge as much when your not dressed to the 9’s, Only room enough for a select well dressed few to advance and most likely without the pay. Talent withers on the vine because management either doesn’t recognize it or understand how to properly utilize its people! Culture is immature and click-ish like high school to the point of cringe.

Pros

i3 is a wonderful company. They have a great culture, amazing mission, and awesome people. Teams all work well together from my experience, and there is little to no friction or animosity between departments

Cons

My 1 drawback is that regardless of the companies growth or scaling, i3 seems reluctant to put on their "big boy pants". They insist on acting like a tech start up in many regards, maintaining lacks rules and accountability, resisting changes that impose even the slightest inconvenience, and formal policy and process that may impede innovative practices. The result is a company with little to no standardization, many preventable errors in processes, and messy products that reflect poorly on the company as a whole.
