Pros
-Overall culture, Employees are friendly and team-orientated
-Hybrid/Remote work options
-Summer Fridays

-401K match
Cons
-Low pay, small raises, and small bonuses (nowhere near the 'standard market rate' they supposedly use)
-Difficult to get promoted
-No sick leave, so you are forced to use your PTO
-Overall burnout from fast-paced work and demanding clients
-Unspoken expectation to work overtime without pay ("bill your hours accurately, however don't ever exceed the project budget")
Your experience and work-life balance really depends on who your account managers and principals are - some leadership members are patient and encouraging, while others can be micromanagers and lack respect for your time.
