Pros

One of the best benefits at phData is the opportunity for rapid learning and skill development. The extensive industry knowledge of the phData team, a company culture focused on asking questions and sharing knowledge, and the opportunity to work with a variety of technologies and clients facilitates this growth. I can say that during my time there, I learned at a much faster pace than I would have at a more traditional corporate role. Also, the team at phData knows how to have fun. Company events, happy hours are a blast.

Cons

The fast pace and the need to always be learning may not be for everyone.

Pros

Remote Work with good people The actual delivery work is very easy

Cons

Very easy work is also very boring. You won't be challenged here. phData being owned by private equity now means you will be exploited. The higher up the chain you go, the more you are expected to participate in sales responsibilities, without any additional pay. Solutions architects can be expected to work up to 10 or 15 extra hours per week doing this, unpaid, beyond the 40 hours of delivery work required. And the only way to get promoted is to willingly exploit oneself in this way. They don't really care about delivery excellence anymore, and they certainly don't take employee preferences and experience into account when assigning to projects. It's all about getting a butt in a seat and charging the client, maximizing the margin, because at phdata, the workers are the product.
