Pros

Modern technology stack with opportunities to work on cloud systems, APIs, distributed architecture, and enterprise modernization efforts. There are smart engineers throughout the organization, and some teams genuinely care about delivering quality solutions. The technical challenges themselves can help accelerate growth in areas like Azure, React, system integration, and large-scale enterprise workflows.

Cons

The environment often felt highly results-driven without enough emphasis on communication clarity, collaboration, or healthy engineering alignment. Requirements and priorities shifted frequently while delivery pressure remained high. Many interactions across leadership and architecture boundaries felt transactional instead of collaborative, which could make engineers feel isolated rather than supported. Success often depended as much on navigating ambiguity and organizational dynamics as technical ability itself.

Great salary but limited advancement opportunities

Pros

The salary and bonuses are definitely great so long as you're in the job level classification that pays the best. I wouldn't consider socials a perk because not many people show up.

Cons

You won't climb the ladder here. They don't create new positions unless they can be tied directly to commercial sales development. The "relationship" culture (which never really existed... cue high school clicks) is changing as no one socializes because the new hires don't know how to get off their phones or show up to work.

Pros

Great coworkers, focus on engagement, attempt for focus on culture (even if it ends at that), advancement opportunities, relationship company focused (agency partners are great)

Cons

For a company of its size - they severely lack diversity, political with advancements - do as you’re told or they will hold your promotion over your head, upper management/directors as well as middle management are not in tune with the floor (those in the trenches), focused on growth more than their personnel as of late (adding a new employee every day of the year and ignoring what current employees are telling them), pay is not competitive with the market, paying new & inexperienced employees more or equally to tenured employees, if you want to advance you need to “play the game” and don’t ever have your own opinion/thoughts/suggestions, workload is unmanageable (work/life balance does not exist), extreme exodus of tenured talent in the last couple years (all levels), stuck in the past - need to be more agile to keep up with competition and more willing/open for change
