Pros

None. Every person working here either does not have a choice to quit (H1B sponsored) or is new grad trying to quit ASAP

Cons

Ignore the Software Data Operations Engineer title as it is a lie. This role consists of almost no coding or software development, maximum minimal changes to Power BI visualizations. The entire job involves making tickets for Indian developers and calling them at night to tell them what to do. Despite not being listed in the job description, this role involves you calling low quality offshore developers in India for 1+ hours Monday-Thursday (also Sundays, since it's Monday there) to basically re-tell them what a client told you. This leads to no work life balance since you are working in the office 9am-5pm (mandatory and you get punished if you are not in the office by 9), and then from home 9pm until very late night. This results in 60 hour work weeks, burnout and average tenure length of 6 months in Redmond, with people leaving weekly. On top of that, the entire management chain in Redmond consists of toxic micromanagers which force people into hours of pointless busy work meetings a day and verbally harass employees. The CEO of the company, Rajeev, has a god complex and makes his employees read the 2 books he wrote during orientation and openly belittles employees during all hands meetings.

Pros

None. None. NONE! NONE! NONE!

Cons

Work like a dog/donkey. No praise, no perks, nothing for you. Everything that can go wrong, is wrong with this company. They don't consider employees as humans. NEVER EVER join here if you love your life!!

Pros

Based on my experience over the last 15 years, I found that A players choose to stay with the company for the following reasons. Professional growth -Substantial responsibilities at an early stage of the career - Exposure to all aspects of delivery lifecycle and project management - Continuous learning Type of work - Exciting and challenging work - Exposure to the latest and varied technologies - Company culture (environment/culture/mindset) Transparency, lack of bureaucracy - Ownership and accountability - Autonomy (with seniority) - Peers with strong technical background - Supportive managers with technical know-how - There is never a dull moment (fast paced work) All of my coworkers with project management responsibilities hold Agile Certified Practitioner certification from Project Management Institute which requires study and exams. The company pays for technical certifications from PMI, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. The company organizes Learning Hour every week. Employees attend annual Open House, local sporting events (mainly Soccer), Cirque du Soleil when they visit Marymoor Park, Redmond, WA. There is annual River Rafting trip at River Wenatchee in May.

Cons

As with any other employer in the consulting industry, there is pressure on engineers to stay current and learn new technologies every year. Customers expect a lot from us. Given the Agile and Lean practices, poor performers do not feel comfortable. Some of them leave on their own and others are moved out. The company believes in Work + Life + Self + Community integration. The company does not have workers that are blue collar that cannot take work home or bring home to work (idea behind work life balance).
