Pros

I enjoyed working here. The people were supportive, the culture was respectful, and the compensation and benefits were strong. When projects were active, the work was engaging and the team collaboration was great.

Cons

Toward the end there weren’t enough projects in the pipeline, which meant limited work and eventually layoffs despite the overall experience being good
