Pros

Everyone is really great to work with and the culture is great even being remote. Good projects for your resume.

Cons

They seem to do decent sized layoffs almost every quarter even if they know work will only slow down temporarily. They then reach out to hire you as a contractor when projects pick back up again and they are short staffed. It’s not a stable job by any means. I’ve coworkers who put more than 15 years into the company get laid off and then rehired as contract two months later. Horrible business model.

Pros

Decent salary Decent Benefits Quick interview's (There is a reason for that more below)

Cons

Terrible communication Terrible project interaction Management is isolated. Big box retail/Service heavy Staff are tripping over one another due to top heavy management per project. Territorial management. Too top heavy per project. Subject to cyclical downturns due to focus on big box retail. (The tariff war will decimate the retail industry.)
