Pros

*Flexibility in schedule *Good location for those outside city *Office reno made office look good, young, hip, modern...but that is a facade to clients and trying to catch eye of younger workforce.

Cons

*Managers don't know how to manage people or process.  *Lack of process.  There is and has been very little in the way of process and communication across or within groups in the company. *Old infrastructure that is not dynamic...making for a clunky base.   *Review process.  Managers rate on quota system.  *Management communication is very poor. *Education.  There is minimal to no relevant training. Training for new technologies is non existant. *I've seen lateral moves but in my time here, and I've been here a while at this point, I realized recently I've never seen any upward moves. A go nowhere company *Managers are leave for 2 hr lunches and return loud and drink in offices on Friday's laughing, swearing and acting like frat boys of an undiverse fraternity.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
