Pros

If you're lucky, you can get an easy project and work 20-25 hours a week. If you want, you can skip all other activities (mentor ships, surveys, and other stuff)

Cons

Super hard to get a decent salary review. Most likely, you will be a contractor, don't expect customers to value your work as much as they value work done by FTEs. You can quickly get a stupid manager, who came from a nontech and non-IT background, and that person can greatly poison your life. Sometimes, seniors are forced to supervise middle developers who are in fact trainees.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to provide this review. At SoftServe we are dedicated to providing various opportunities for our associates to grow professionally and improve their skills, which gives the opportunity for more ambitious projects and increasing compensation. Underworking and ignoring mentorship and educational opportunities is a choice, but of course it will not result in helping anyone to grow personally or professionally. We created the PeEx program to help manage workload and facilitate our associates' development and growth, including compensation. SoftServe provides clear guidelines about the criteria for salary increases. We believe in open communication and transparency, so we offer competitive compensation and encourage open conversations about pay with your manager.

Pros

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Cons

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
