Pros

In comparison to other companies, there really aren't any pros to working here.

Cons

Below-average salaries, crummy benefits, less PTO than what's offered by comparable employers, no bonuses or other perks. They'll expect you to do whatever it takes to keep projects on track (eg, work 60-70 hours/week for 3 months), but they won't provide anything in return (no bonuses, no extra time-off, no salary increases). They make no efforts in career advancement, cross-training, etc.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
