Pros

- Good work-life balance - Ability to work from home - Generally nice, friendly people - Good brand, good mission - Relatively decent pay, with an effort to increase the Associates' pay up to market value.

Cons

- Not a good environment for entry-level employees. May just be my personal experience, but some of the more senior members on the team are scared for their jobs and are not willing to teach you, or leave out just enough information to keep you at entry level and not progress. - Team politics - Significant layoffs and people leaving earlier this year in STS - Silo-ed departments and teams - Training is non-existent - CTO micromanages teams

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
