Pros

37 Years in Business and many smart people.

Cons

There are too many doers and not many leaders. Too many silos slowing down progress. Countless feedback from Employees and clients about poor software quality and Executives worry about having too many meetings about nothing. There is no coordination amongst offices and Practice Directors do not communicate well. Many good things are said but never followed through. Execs. love to hear themselves talk about goals but goals are given out mid year and employees laugh or just go through the motion to get it off their plate. Overworked team members since the company is worried about bottom line only and not their people or quality of product. Many of the folks that have been with Urban Science love to say...this is the way we have always done and cease to think about progressive ways to solve issues or they are simply afraid to make a mistake since leaders love to micro manage.

Pros

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Cons

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
