Pros

Benefits are decent, about the same as other companies. Vacation is better than others depending on your experience. You get 17 days of PTO with less than 5 years of experience, accrue them at about 4.4 hours per pay period, and can bank up to 300 hours. More experience = faster accrual up to 8 hours per pay period. Culture is generally pretty good and they are a relatively progressive company compared to others in the industry. They offer a mentoring program.

Cons

No sick time in addition to PTO Learning skills and developing your career is more on the sink or swim side but not as bad as others. Utilization targets for most staff range from 70 to 90%. Proposals are not considered billable hours. Billable hours can be hard to come by when you’re starting out, but within about a year you’ll have plenty of work. PMs and Principals are generally extremely busy.
