Pros
1) Smart and engaged teammates. Everyone I've worked with is great. It is such a pleasure to work with folks that have expertise in their respective fields and a willingness to share their knowledge and experiences. 2) Thoughtful leadership. Group-level leadership is interested in feedback and the needs of their team. In assigning engineers to projects there is consideration paid to matching project needs with the technical and interpersonal strengths of individuals, while also allowing opportunities to take on challenging work that requires learning new skills. 3) OFFICE DOGS. Others might rank this lower on their list, but I really enjoy taking a break to pet dogs that come to the office. I'm looking forward to post-Covid times when I can scritch all the pups. A+.
Cons
1) Challenges getting up to speed on consulting mindset. Consulting is all about the client and helping them be successful, which can be a change in mindset coming from a traditional corporate environment. More active communication about expectations, goals, and progress is required both within a team and with external clients. Not necessarily a "con" as this should be the norm in any working relationship, but it is a skill that takes time and intentional effort to develop. Fortunately there are plenty of experienced folks at Pensar that can help teach these skills.
