      Pros

      No Pros thus far; see Cons.

      Cons

      Hired under false pretenses (told I would receive one salary and got much less) - Good ol' boy system, can not go up the chain with issues because they all support each others mistakes and wrong-doings, only looking out for themselves - cheating consultants out of bonus $$$ by shaving off their utilization time - Low salary pay with high travel that a taxed bonus does not make up for - All around disappointed with how this company runs and how they treat their employees

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

      Cons

      2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
