Pros

Great place to gain experience. Come ready to play a game made up by the employees that have been there since it was just a few people. These climbers are safe in the game and are not held accountable. They have been promoted to high positions because of rapid growth. This job looks good on your resume so get it and move on. The more PG jargon you can use and more you suck up and make jokes the better off you will be. Just suck up to anyone that has been there over 3 years and you are good to go if they like you. Talent does not matter only how well you play the game.

Cons

The fake goals and fake people. Everyone already knows who is getting promoted and who won't. They use promotions as a way to get others to do the work. The people who have been there too long have created a ton of problems and they just blame that on whoever is on the account at the time. If you see a PIP start looking for a new job.

High School Work Life

Pros

Very lenient managers, got to watch Netflix at work while working.

Cons

They hire anyone and everyone. I felt micromanaged, not by my manager but my colleagues. The environment feels like you're back in high school. A lot of gossip about each other, and a lot of negative energy. You can speak up but no one will listen because they will continue to talk about you. They are all about favorites especially when it comes to trying to get the next position or promotion. I had to fake it until I made it out of there alive. If you like high school and cliques, this place is for you!

Pros

Mainly relies on H1B . Very transparent, very careful and proactive following all DOL and immigration laws.On time pay, very smooth and clear job offering process and on-boarding process. They also work on percentage basis and keeps very moderate margin.

Cons

Do not keep any H1B holders on bench even 1 single day. They revoke your H1B the day your project ends. No hierarchy define and mostly employee stuck with one or two resources for all there need. Very high attrition rate in administrative and immigration matter team. Very young people in the administrative and immigration matter team and they are very adamant and sometime unprofessional too. They never take your call if they do not want to answer something but when they ask something they want it within 5 minutes. Totally useless health insurance.
