Pros

Regular fun events (ice cream socials, Halloween costume contest, etc).

Cons

Extremely inconsistent treatment of employees depending on department, office location, and/or manager. You could luck out, or you could dread coming into work. Noticeably lower pay and opportunities for female employees. There are a number of manager and above employees who would benefit from professionalism, emotional intelligence, and in some cases anger management courses. Many of the manager positions are not natural leaders and it's very apparent. Keep technical people in technical positions, and don't have employees that are clearly terrible with people manage others.

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.
