Pros

- Smart people with good intentions - Good tools used for developing software and managing information - Employees have an opportunity to seize a problem area and make a huge impact if they want to, which can be satisfying

Cons

- Lots of politics, especially at the leadership level - Lots of questionable promotions into high levels / and or hiring of people into upper management level roles - Career advancement or compensation is not necessarily tied to your contributions; there are people who make an impact and do great work, but aren't rewarded - In terms of engineering issues, there is a lot of tech debt

Pros

Unlimited PTO that they encourage you to use

Cons

Vey cliquey and laden with politics. Lot of the promotions didn't make any sense and just seemed to be based on the VP's mood on any given day. Favoritism galore and to top it off.... the clients are so difficult to deal with. Unrealistic expectations and no support from management when they are out of line. You will be demonized if you call it out.
