Pros

If there were any I would share them here.

Cons

Employees are overworked and underpaid. Salaries are a joke and the company knows it but doesn't care. They are losing good people left and right, then replacing them with even worse newbies who they can also underpay. There is zero work life balance and you better be prepared to give up your life so you can answer client emails 24 hours. Leadership is completely lacking and the company gets rid of the good ones which only contributes to the growing problems. The favoritism is like nothing you've ever seen. If you are in then you can expect to be given priority studies and accounts although you will still be vastly underpaid for your time. They talk a big game about promoting from within and about career paths, but they never follow through then they hire from outside. It is all empty promises and the leaders will say whatever you want to hear to shut you up with no intention of ever improving anything. If you do take a job here you better get a second gig or find a bar to work at in the nighttime so you can survive. Oh wait, you won't be able to get a second job because all of your time will be spent working for less than you deserve for people who don't appreciate you. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN. The semblance of greatness that both SSI and RN held is long gone and it is a complete shell of what each of those companies once were. Turnover is super high for all of the reasons just mentioned and more. If you enjoy crying at night and working with no breaks, and if you are already a billionaire who doesn't need to support yourself and your family, then you might do just fine. Why haven't I left, you ask? We are amidst a global pandemic and jobs are hard to come by. Also I don't have time because I'm too busy being worked around the clock.

Total Lack of Integrity

Pros

Colleagues and people are great.

Cons

Sr. Leadership / "Eagle Team" is very arrogant, and has a total lack of integrity when it comes to the employees. Will do anything for a Client at the expense of employees, including throwing employees under the bus.

Pros

Fun coworkers Fun Events (Mostly) Laid back workplace

Cons

Since the merger there have been major cutbacks on all benefits, for what I assume is cost saving. PTO hours reduced by over half, any incentives for Project managers has been severely reduced and the looming outsourcing is becoming more prevalent. The most egregious con would have to be the disorganization from managers + in the company. You will have a lot of managers that are located in a office in a totally different state so do not expect to have anyone right there to help out with anything. With a growing turn over rate, their solution is to hire people out of the country and leave the current PM's in the dust with little to no support. Dont expect to move up in the company, and if you do, expect them to promote you at a time that is very convenient for them to have any excuse to not give you an annual raise during your yearly performance review. Speaking of annual bonuses, be prepared to lose yours for frivolous reasons because they do not want to pay out all bonuses, which is probably for cost cutting purposes as well. Management claims transparency but there are always surprises right around the corner that you are not prepared for. With the high turnover rate in operations be prepared to take on an avalanche of new projects from people leaving the company at a steady rate, and expect to keep up the "high quality" customer service they expect. Be prepared to deal with exasperated clients because of the overall quality shift from this merger and having to spend a quarter of your work day explaining to management why there are issues, which clearly from the cost cutting and failure to retain talent.
