Pros

The work life balance is actually pretty good (not as much travel as most companies) Lots of very smart people. Benefits are amazing. From my experience, I've always had support when I needed or asked for it. There are a couple of great leaders, not many but some.

Cons

Very different company than it was 3-4 years ago. There has been an obvious transition away from focusing on people = the individual doesn't matter anymore. Developers, consultants, and managers have become utilization/money hamsters. Not saying this doesn't exist in other places, it's just become more obvious here. Horrible review process. No one knows what is going on, including the consulting directors. Way too much micromanaging. Having to submit our time every single day is a bit excessive. Pay used to be average, but has started to fall behind. Lost a lot of good people this past year, and will probably lose more.

Pros

Work from home. Very competent team. Very good growth potential. Management legitimately seems to care about employees as much as being profitable. Good pay. Good benefits. Unlimited PTO within reason. We produce excellent work that is easy to be proud of. 401k match up to 6%. Laptops get replaced after about 2 years. Up to date on technology and software. Encourage continued growth.

Cons

Some projects can be very demanding time, but that's the same at most consulting firms. HR is laughably bad sometimes with administrative stuff. Nothing scary, but communications from the top guy feel like they were written by a 10th grader. Review process is very outdated and pretty garbagy, but I am not aware of serious negative impacts on anyone and an overhaul is coming. Due to a recent acquisition of a company based in the south and much of that company's leadership retaining top positions, I have seen signs of trending towards conservative values which is a concern for me. I am aware of one other case in addition to an experience of my own where leadership attempted to influence something they have no business influencing. Both cases were very maddening in principal, but not bad enough to make me want to leave.
