Pros

- Flexible work hours - Working from home option

Cons

- No Thanksgiving Fridays off (you either have to work or use your PTO) - Use your PTO when you are not billable (even it's not your responsibility to find work). So don't plan any vacation time. - FIVE years to be fully vested in 401k, yes FIVE FULL years. - the worst: when Covid hit in 2020 and everything was shut down, they asked me to use all my PTO when my project was put on hold for five weeks. And I didn't even have enough PTO to cover the 5 weeks, they didn't give me any other option but to be on unpaid (project re-opening unknown). I also got an email telling me NOT to apply to EDD (I honestly didn't even know I could have that option). A truly greatly disappointing move by the employer during crisis time like Covid. I was so scared of catching the virus, but still had to go onsite daily after project reopened knowing that I didn't have any PTO left if I got sick.

Pros

Direct managers within the office are nice people. Colleagues are also nice. Opportunity for career growth if you stick around long enough. Some interesting projects.

Cons

*USA offices * Decision-makers at the top of the chain get to have the benefits of remote work (employees remotely work-sharing across offices) but do not allow employees to do the same (if you’re working with a completely remote team you must still come into the office). Despite having proven through the COVID-era that employees can successfully work remotely senior leadership is planning a full return to office 5 days/wk. Lousy healthcare benefits, below-avg compensation. Employees with less than 40 hrs/wk of project work are forced to create technical documents to justify charging to company time when the root cause is the firm not winning projects.
