Pros

- Amazing Family/Work Life Balance - The culture we preach is the culture we live - Its ok to Fail. We don't like to but there is always something to be learned. - The choice to create your own career path - The opportunity to have a voice

Cons

- Extensive interview process. We are really picky! - We work really hard (to play really hard of course) - You will have to get uncomfortable. We want everyone to grow.

Don't get H1b with populus

Pros

Not a single pros about this company. Stay away from it

Cons

Populus is not Teksystems neither they are under the same company group. They say they are sister concern of Teksystems but for H1b, you are still contracting through a vendor in between that is Teksystems. If you have a layer of third party, you will end up working multiple layers and your pay will be crap. There are no benefits in this company. Only option is to buy obamacare and you pay everything from your pocket. Their benefit is nothing but you pay everything from you pocket policy that covers nothing. There is no bench and you always have two layers that is 30% Teksystems and 20% Populus. Also, no financial institutions will hire you as they are not certified vendor when contracting with Populus as it becomes third party. Marketing is all what you do when you are on bench. There legal advisors have no idea on what they are advising. They will scare you with out any knowledge. Stay away from this company if you are looking for h1b sponsorship.

Working at PG

Pros

Populus Group does a great job at promoting a work-life balance, which you don't see everywhere. Depending on your role, I also feel like there is a lot of autonomy and that you don't always have someone looking over your shoulder. PG is a company that doesn't see you as just another worker, but a member of their family. You definitely get out of it what you put in, if you work hard you will be treated well. I would say that if you consider yourself a very reserved person, you would not thrive here. The office environment is very unique but a great place to make good relationships and connections.

Cons

Some roles do not have as high of a salary as I personally think they should, medical and dental offerings could be stronger
