Pros

Really great people to work with, nice variety of clients and tasks.

Cons

Completely opaque management, making unnecessary cuts to staff and wages despite previously bragging about profits and sending out messages of hope and how to use some of the downtime during the crisis to self-improve. Instead of following through on this, however, they cut our pay (AFTER the crisis has started to pass and a lot of business is picking up again, mind you). Even before this, earning a pay rise or decent bonus is impossible even when you consistently exceed expectations and perform excellent work for your clients in tough assignments. They talk a lot about development but internal training is a joke, the internal search tools are wholly inadequate for their intended function (despite, again, bragging about our advanced search engine to any client that will listen).

Pros

Work from home gives flexibility, time off is good.

Cons

No raises ever, bonuses are not a motivator nor an indicator of the work you do. No one seems to know why you receive the bonus you do, it is just from a spreadsheet handed to your direct manager who apparently has no influence in the decision. Raises never happen and no one can answer if they are coming or not—you just never get one.
