Pros

Great people A lot of learning/training opportunities Great place to get well trained and move on Fun clients with exciting projects Nice offices Travel opportunities Mostly-Flexible schedule

Cons

High stress Low pay (compensation wasn’t worth the stress, less than $20/hr once actual hours were applied instead of 40/week) 50 hour weeks is the expected norm and the company culture sees this as the “standard work week for adult professionals” - quoting a VP HUGE amounts of turnover (increases stress/hours for team)

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
