Pros

I was having problems finding a position due to my wide variety of experience. This never even phased them, they believed in me from day one and always did whatever they could to help. The mistakes I made were learning experiences, and the things I succeeded with were praised. I had to leave because of a move, but they still continued to help me with references and even referred a previous client to me.

Cons

The same downsides you'd expect from any smaller company.

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.
