Pros

Financial consultancy but no real finance knowledge required on front end as most of your time will be spent working out how to make off-the-shelf grid and chart libraries work like the radically different UX designs.

Cons

People leave without handover as they are made to keep their resignations secret.

Pros

Lab49 was a great company with good projects and excellent engineers up until about a year ago (at least in DC). Pay used to be very competitive. Only reason I'm rating 2 stars instead of 1 is that there are truly horrible companies out there that have managers that yell and are outright abusive to employees. Lab49 is not that bad.

Cons

In the last year things in DC have really gone to hell. * They ask for 12 weeks notice in an offer letter and try to pressure you on it if you give less claiming the offer letter is a binding contract (it's not). * For employees that have given notice, some were fired after giving notice and not paid for the notice period. Why would anyone give any notice at all when there is a track record of firing employees that give notice???? * Employees that have left (both fired and quit) were not paid out in accordance with DC labor laws (they/I were paid, but not within the legally required time period). * Some newer projects are jQuery based applications. jQuery, in 2019!!!! * There are no longer company-wide high standards and it is now 100% dependent on the individual team lead--some are good and some are horrible. One lead is still great. * 100% of Lab49's HR is gone and it is all run by a new company that was bought out by the parent company (so it's not even the parent company's HR anymore). They are completely detached from Lab49 and barely even know Lab49 exists.
