Pros

Remote work for some projects; work life balance; benefits day one; good coworkers

Cons

Management says one thing and does another. Security for a job is null. Business outlook is not good. Clients are leaving in droves as the company strategy changed from partner to staffing. Never know if you have a project from day to day and will be laid off.

Pros

Remote work opportunities available for some positions.

Cons

Compensation was below market compared to industry (at least 20%). Benefits offerings were underwhelming and continued to decline over time. After the merger, the company culture shifted and felt more like a staffing firm than an engineering-focused organization, and went through frequent layoffs creating instability and low morale across teams. Leadership communication often felt disorganized, with issues repeatedly pushed down to lower-level employees instead of being addressed strategically. Long-tenured employees were let go while leadership restructuring and new executive hires continued. 0 Career growth! Diversity and inclusion efforts are nonexistent unless you are a white male.
