Improving Office Culture

Pros

- Very reasonable work/life balance - Opportunities to travel/interact with clients from an early stage - No hurdles to jump through when seeking help/ speaking with upper management - Work includes a variety of tasks ranging from programming and other technical requirements to project management and building client relationships. I think this company has done a great job over the last year of turning the culture around. Including from more scheduled out-of-office activities like happy hours, bringing in a local coffee shop barista to brew morning joe, and generally people being more positive around the office.

Cons

- It can be a bit daunting starting off, and there is not a formal training program which can leave you at a loss for things to do initially. - It's a complex piece of software and getting to the bottom of bugs/questions can be tough sometimes -(Mixed) Sometimes assigned tasks can be a bit vague. This allows for opportunity to think through the need and solution, but can lead to mixed signals and wasted effort if there is miscommunication.

Not great

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Get experience fast because of your expectation to run the projects with not so much guidance 2. Lot of bonding between the consulting and analyst team members, but the bonding is over struggles in this role mostly 3. Can't complain about the benefits, good 401k, other good perks generally 4. Better "culture" than before 5. Actually diverse, nice & smart people Had to resubmit due to submission policy issues

Cons

1. Constantly in stressful situations during projects, most employees who work with software say it is stressful, not a lot of change in terms of making projects smoother 2. Little organization / infrastructure for the team that builds and implements the solutions 3. Badly scoped work 4. No clear role or path forward in career terms, lot of customer service type work and not a whole lot of creative solution opportunities 5. Leads to being overworked, hard setting boundaries 6. Fixing things in the software you have already fixed multiple times during projects, difficult working with developing team 7. Very old systems/tech 8. Overall frustrating and anxious work env.
