Pros

- Flexible work environment with autonomy to set your schedule. As long as project and billable hour expectations are met, there is flexibility in when and where you work.

Cons

- Career growth is largely self-directed. You need to consistently advocate for yourself, seek out development opportunities, and communicate your goals in order to advance. - Performance is heavily driven by utilization and billable-hour targets. Missing those targets can put your position at risk, even when low utilization is partly caused by limited project availability. - Employees are required to use PTO during the company shutdown around Christmas, regardless of whether they personally observe the holiday.
