Pros

-When Pariveda says it hires the best, it means it. The people here are very bright and highly motivated, but not cut-throat. Getting to working with these people is the best thing about my job. -Very clearly defined expectations with potential for rapid career growth. Feedback is frequent and detailed, and if you're good you will be rewarded and promoted accordingly. In addition, Pariveda won't hesitate to give you responsibility if you've proven your mettle, even if you're young and don't have much past experience. Pariveda is very big on developing its people and giving you the opportunity to grow. -The company culture is strong and is designed to support the Pariveda mission. It may be a young company, but it's clear that a lot of thought went into the founding of Pariveda. -Transparency from top to bottom. Salaries, company financials, important decisions, and future plans are communicated to all employees on a regular basis. -Being involved. The company is employee-owned, and it is young and growing rapidly. Here at Pariveda, I feel that I am really helping to build something special.

Cons

-Expect to work 45-50 hours a week, with some weeks higher depending on the project. -There are a lot of "extra-curricular" expectations (training, networking, community service, internal projects, etc.)

Pros

Individual professional growth is accelerated thru mostly local, complex work on small teams. Performance is monitored and feedback insured thru regular and thorough reviews. The things asked of the employees are the things they should be doing regardless of where they work.

Cons

It’s not easy work. Having a cohort group means you are constantly evaluating your worth to your client and your contributions to the company in relation to you cohorts. It really leaves nowhere to hide.

Pros

My favorite thing about the company is the clear expectations for every level of the organization. In order to get promoted you must show competency in several areas. The company is active in training all employees to perform their current role well and to start thinking about the next level up. This is the first company I have worked at where the path to promotion was explicit. When I was in industry I was never told what steps or skills I had to master in order to receive a promotion and raise. At Pariveda you are given explicit instructions and coaching on how to achieve these objectives. There is great transparency in the organization from salary levels to bill rates while at clients. We teach our employees about the business of consulting and not just on how to design and deliver software. Earning a degree in Computer Science does not prepare you for the realities of business and why decisions get made. Business decisions get made based largely on financial considerations and in Pariveda we expose all employees to the financial impact of their work.

Cons

There is a considerable expectation of training and networking beyond a standard 40 hour week. As consultants the company lives and dies by the amount of billable hours we turn in but our advancement and training happen outside of a normal 40 hour week. Attending the after-hour internal events and networking events requires sacrifice of personal time.
