Pros

Unless you prefer to work at a toxic, racist, sexist, inflammatory environment with close minded people who treat the office like a High School cafeteria...there are few positive aspects of working for this company. You might like the ability to make up your own cool job title like "Senior Associate" or "Director of Something or Another." They pay a lot of money to people who have no idea what they are doing. Office affairs and gossip are a regular thing and you can move on up in the company if you play those games or turn a blind eye to them as well.

Cons

This is truly a place that enforces the "Good Ol' Boys" club and the open HR/EEOC violations are glaring. Hiring practices based on people's skin color, appearance, etc. is disturbing and blatant. Veris Group openly lied to employees about being acquired...only to be acquired and gutted within months. Employees drinking at the office after hours and sleeping with one another was accepted and tolerated by HR. Brown nosing and butt kissing will get you a raise/bonus so bring your kneepads and best lipstick. If you are a minority, keep it moving as they will give you the worst assignments and make it extremely uncomfortable for you until you voluntarily leave. Once employees leave the company, HR attempts to ruin their reputation and illegally commits acts of libel and slander. This is a bush league company and they are reaping what they have sewed over the last few years.

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.
