Pros

The work/life balance is good, enjoy working from home, finally allowing Macs for development and not just PCs.

Cons

Salaries are below the market, benefits are below the market. They get new staff by purchasing other companies since they can't hire qualified people with the low salaries. However, within 2 years of being purchased all but about 30% of the acquired staff has left for other opportunities. Way too many layers of management and they really don't care about the consultants anyhow, just want bodies to staff projects and will do whatever they have to do for that, which means hiring lots of contractors to fill projects out. Projects are very disorganized, no development standards, no modern dev ops training or usage in place. Everything seems to be done by the seat of the pants. Salary increases are low and not keeping up with the industry. Internal tools developed are horrible and full of bugs but we are forced to use them.

Pros

The company is rising the ranks as they are combining all of their internal business teams and processes as well as they are capable of.

Cons

You are a number. The family dedication of 'doing whatever it takes to get the job done' is gone, as new management has come in and made everything a calculation. They have slashed every US job they can, and if you're in the EU and your role can be sent to India, you are next. If your individual math doesn't add up for longer than 2 weeks, you'll be on your way out. If you are on vacation, you are also questioned about that math not adding up. Just added a bench process to get everyone infighting for roles they aren't appropriate for and dragging out their personal needs. A select few are exempt, even though the bench process isn't fully working or completely understood. Reporting structures are all in flux and everyone is 3 months into the year without identified goals or team reporting set for the year.
