Cons

I cannot think of any. The company does a lot for it's employees.

Cons

It is a very competitive office and you need to step your game up to be noticed. This can add extra stress most people are not use to.

Cons

Rigorous interview process. Lacks in management support and encouragement.

Cons

- CEO angers easily, picks and chooses what is relevant to company values on a whim. -- unlikely to change
- In promotion hearings and when talking about values/principles, employees are often asked what their opinion is about something, then if it's different from the canned response upper mgmt is looking for, they're wrong and the perspective is dismissed. This is an interesting take for a company that holds a core value of intellectual honesty.
- Some project work is fulfilling business analysis needs at large corporations, this feels futile a lot of the time and doesn't match up with what the job description is during the recruiting process. While it's not guaranteed that this may happen, the work that is done on projects varies and it's really luck of the draw.
- A lot of mundane tasks in lower level roles, the recruiting phase places a huge emphasis on intellectual ability, but a lot of the work doesn't seem to require it.
- Management champions the company's methodology, but it is implemented differently in most projects. Need to standardize your own work before you can try to establish an industry standard for others.
- Not much opportunity for technological skill growth
- Focusing on growing existing customer connections when a single customer generates a majority of the current revenue does not seem like a good position to take.
- Can end up working 50 hour weeks, 45 hour work week minimum

Cons

-Changing views from management with little transparency at times
-Fairly long hours (not the "you can work any 80 hours a week you like mantra," but certainly more than 40 hours on average)
-Some generic small company stuff like politics and gossip, but it doesn't usually get in the way of the work or growing your career

Cons

When you are assigned to a project, you work until your task is done. This is not a 9 to 5 job.

Cons

As a small company, those used to the structure of large organizations will need to adjust.

Cons

Work can sometimes be monotonous and boring.
Sometimes concerns are not well addressed.
Interview process is very hard to get through.
There is a subtle distinction between senior and junior resources, not always in a good way.

Cons

It was always very dificult to understand the direction and intent of upper management. Very disconnected to lower level employees. Today we are going to do things this way, tomorrow differently, and the next day we'll go back to how we were doing it initially. Upper management is extremely intelligent and if you are not equally as smart, then you are basically very stupid (at least in their eyes). They have their favorites for projects and if you play your cards right, you might be chosen to lead a project even thought sometimes the leader is not capable of forging ahead and ensuring project success.

Cons

Salary. Sometimes demands. Not always integrated w/ other employees.
