Pros

Hybrid schedule — the flexibility to work from home was a major plus. Decent pay for the role and responsibilities. Friendly, supportive coworkers who made day-to-day work more enjoyable. Workload was manageable — not many high-pressure deadlines.

Cons

No work = no hours = no pay. Sent home without pay during slow periods. No 401(k) match — just company stock after three years, with little to no value. Sudden layoffs and unpaid “standby” time with no warning. Leadership seemed more focused on billable hours than employee well-being. Promises made during hiring were not followed through. Job security felt conditional, not guaranteed. If you call it a full-time position, it should come with full-time support. That means steady pay, real benefits, and job security. Anything less is misleading — and harmful. We need to hold companies accountable for how they treat their people. Everyone deserves transparency, respect, and fair compensation for their time and skills.

Pros

There is nothing positive I can say about this company.

Cons

Management has a "what have you done for me lately" mentality.
