Pros

The place for you if competitive pay is the only thing that motivates you

Cons

Delivery of ALL projects is a mess, leadership only focused on sales and don't care about the people, no clear roles/responsibilities of team members causes problems, empty promises to senior employees to get them in the doors and then they have to clean up the messes that the delivery teams have made, delivery teams staffed with junior resources who are trying desperately to figure it out, company has failed to create a sense of social culture (outside of work) during the pandemic/adapt to allow for work-life balance I agree with another reviewer - they put a bunch of recent grads with high level senior leadership and mid-level talent is heavily lacking

Pros

Steampunk seems to put a major emphasis on hiring good people, and good work stems in part from that philosophy. The company culture is very supportive and inclusive, and remote work helps with the flexibility that life requires.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that you only get 2 weeks of PTO plus federal holidays, which goes fast.

Pros

The company itself is decent, with reasonable benefits and some good people. Work-life balance is generally acceptable.

Cons

Project Management is terrible. The PM lacks honesty when communicating with customers about deliverables and timelines. They frequently overpromise and underdeliver. The PM does not shield or support the team properly and often misrepresents reality both to the client and internally. There is a strong preference for a completely flat organizational structure, regardless of years of experience or expertise. This leads to poor decision-making and frustration for senior team members. The account team is noticeably very female-biased. Male employees often feel sidelined or undervalued in account-related decisions and opportunities.
