Pros
- Cool team that I work with - Client offers a few nice perks (free food) - a lot of opportunity to learn and network with similarly-minded and connected people
Cons
- Astounding and crippling amounts of micromanaging - Management is completely unorganized and moves chaotically - Management puts their responsibilities on subordinates and questions when those same things are not done to the caliber of their liking - Client culture is terrible; often told that "no favors are done around here"; people are constantly throwing each other under the bus - PTO quantity is awful, we should really get more than what we're getting (currently we are only given 10 days and 6 sick days; in my opinion for the amount of work we do we need twice the amount of that). - have been told that working from home, or even a hybrid, work schedule is not possible or allowed, even though 50% of the job is overseeing sites remotely; and also doesn't seem fair considering the client gets to work on a hybrid- based work model. - Management does not properly train you; they put it on their subordinates to just assume a "trainer" role. Sets you up to fail later on in the job because you'll be positioned to oversee a project or an issue that you have not been trained in, and then get in trouble and look bad in front of the client for not completing it correctly - Job scope is changing literally on a weekly basis; we are often expected to fulfill tasks that would be considered field work, as well as traveling; both things of which were not indicated in early interviews. - very high turnaround time
