Pros

- Great co-workers - Large (and sometimes fun) clients - Freedom to customize and tailor your work

Cons

- Employees keep leaving, no one is being re-hired. Morale is low, and people are overworked to fill the gap. - Easily over half of the company is Director level or above, there's no one left to actually do the work - Pay is lower than average, you are expected to perform duties above your pay grade - Executive management is clueless, constant re-orgs and promises delivered that are never filled - Our director took FOUR two week vacations in less than 6 months. Clients were dropped, and no one took the blame.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
