In professional services (paychex SOW contractors) there is a relatively low skill ceiling for engineers, even if your team is working on the new stack (Spring Boot microservices, kafka). There's always a chance that when your project wraps up you will be reassigned to a maintenance project on a product that's a dead-end from a technology perspective. The culture is not engineering driven. Career path for engineering-focused developers is towards solution lead and solution manager, but these roles seem to provide fewer opportunities for developing engineering skillsets. All upward paths lead to management, away from tech. Maybe not a con for all, but a SOW team is not the place to grow as an engineer after the first 1-3 years of your career. The health plans are equivalent to having no coverage at all if you are a remote worker living in any state other than NY. Moreover they offer an HRA instead of an HSA, the latter of which would be way more advantageous for many employees. You can decline the HRA and contribute to your own HSA but the employer will not contribute to your HSA as they would the HRA.

The culture behind the IT support team was not professional and consisted of constantly berating each other and making you feel uncomfortable. Any time this behavior was challenged nothing was done about it. Towards the end of my time there it was a hostile work environment that I wasn't comfortable in. HR did not fix these issues in an acceptable manner. There isn't a good work/life balance. It's expected to give your soul to this company even if you are struggle with personal health issues you are expected to come to work even if you physically and mentally cannot do it. Everyone in the office gossips about each other. The office space completely lacks any kind of diversity or inclusion. They are not accommodating or understanding of people disabilities.
