Pros

Health benefits day one. Access to resources and knowledge on the company owned product, great opportunity to grow skills and network with others.

Cons

No 401k match, understaffed so worked long hours without any recognition or future incentives, unable to easily get approved to take vacation days earned due to backlog. Project specific cons: No time to take advantage of training opportunities that exist due to nature of project, not willing to pay for needed senior resources that doomed the project, no accountabilty of management, no culture of employee empowerment and respect on this project. Hoping project and managgers were an anomally, but do all you can to know the particular project and people you are considering committing to up front!

Pros

* They train new grads, so you get a lot of valuable training * Depending on the projects, it has the potential to have a good life balance *Hybrid and Remote opportunity Will recommend to get your foot in the door

Cons

* Pay is not very competitive. Needs improvement * Depending on some client projects, the work-life balance can also be very bad * The culture is horrible, the outlook and appearance of the company is so different than what is on the ground—cutthroat culture, pushing culture. * Sometimes it enables a rude and disrespectful culture * Career growth is very minimal * tend to hire lots of indians, and an indian dominated culture/circle can make a non indian feel left out
