Pros

It's nice for fresh college graduates who don't know any better.

Cons

The maze of gray cubicles tells you another depressing day of in office work is here. You brought everyone remote during C19 and saw everyone doing their part just fine with productivity going up because people were working a little longer since they didnt have travel time and they did it voluntarily. Expect productivity to drop immensely. Operations had their upper management cleaned out because of turnover rates and how quickly new hires were given full client loads was finally exposed. Lower Managers were told to drink the kool-aid and say better together to anyone who was upset about return to office. A lot of people who stayed with WFH quit once they had to come back in office. Product was under the impression WFH was here to stay as well, only for it to be ripped out from under them and a lot of good, tenured employees left because WFH is a benefit and wasn't replaced with more pay or anything else as a benefit. Now to complete #oneteam, Dev and QA are rejoining the office, when the employees hired during WFH were promised it wouldn't happen to them. Dev is getting the most preferential treatment out of everyone returning since they can still work hybrid, which is causing division in our #oneteam. I'm going to love being in office and still working on Zoom when I could do the same from home. This is all because a 5th building will be completed in 2023 and C leaders want it filled up to micromanage. There is no real reason any of this is being done. You're limiting who you hire because talent lives all over the USA and not just in Oklahoma. No wonder we're not actually leading in our industry with this idiotic thinking starting at the top.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
