Pros

Nothing is good at this company! They should change the name to a financial company!

Cons

It’s all about generating revenue! Innovative thinking is not welcomed! Most of the reviews for this company are fake and do not accurately represent it. This is a terrible company to work for. The CEO, who has a financial background, seems to only care about money. The company does not value talent or innovative thinking unless it generates revenue for the CEO and their family. Even if you work for 50 hours, the manager will push you to work 60 hours just to bill the client for more revenue, regardless of the quality of the work. I would strongly advise leaving this company as soon as possible.

Pros

Exciting projects all over the world, great people who are dedicated and passionate about their work, a focus on innovation, and pre-covid had great employee gatherings. Overall a great place to work with collaborative teams and a portfolio of projects from small to large.

Cons

Every company has some cons, but there is nothing to note that is different or worse than any place else.
