This is where developers go to let their dreams die
Pros
Sapient hires incredibly smart and talented people. Some of the most inspiring and enthusiastic beings I've ever met are roaming those hallways
Cons
-For a place with such talented people, the work you get most of the time is the most mundane and soul sucking wastes of time you will ever experience -Project Management have no ability to push back on or set realistic expectations for developers and designers. Sometimes the clients horrific work ethic ends up permeating over to Sapient employees -lack of diversity. Probably about 6 people of color in an office with hundreds. -too much red tape, hard to make any new changes or get taken seriously when wanting to make an impact -it's not about how good you are at your job, it's about how good you are at making it look like you do anything. People spend so much time sliding verbose cards around on Jira to look like they've done something -horrific code bases. Constantly working with the worst practices I've ever seen from project to project -Uninteresting work. Incredibly talented developers only working on client sites to change colors over the course of months -Time cards. It's 2018, who does this anymore? -Identity Crisis. Publicis.Sapient, Sapient RazorFish, combining offices with Digitas. Can't possibly feel a sense of belonging whole the C level execs try to figure out what they wanna call us
