Pros

There is a generally collaborative culture. And a lot of the projects are truly interesting and unique.

Cons

While aggressive utilization and financial targets are standard in the industry, the level of aggression seems on the rise. It feels like it's gone from a place of careers to a place of gigs. There are good gigs - but there's no security. So you're not really 'part' of anything beyond your temporary client gigs.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
