      Insane expectations cause endless stress and frustrate employees

      Pros

      You will be a fool to seek any pros here. It's not a decent workplace for people who want clear boundaries and hope to enjoy some work-life balance. These awful people will never respect the lines you draw.

      Cons

      The work expectations were ridiculously high. Employees were expected to be available 24/7, work on multiple projects, and meet client expectations while balancing poorly assigned deadlines. It was a struggle to show up every day when you knew they expected too much from you. It was exhausting to try to reason with the arrogant leadership that did nothing but pile horrible expectations. They also didn't give me enough room to grow. My learning stopped, and I was doing boring work for months. There was no career growth, either. Overall, it was a horribly frustrating experience, and I escaped before I could be trapped here for long.

      It's a workplace built on gaslighting and layoffs

      Pros

      Maybe you’ll meet a few good coworkers going through the same thing.

      Cons

      This place is as unstable as it gets. From day one, upper leadership was dishonest and only looked out for themselves, while managers played favorites and handed opportunities to their friends. If you tried to speak up for your team or call out the obvious discrimination, you’d immediately have a target on your back. Layoffs happened so often that no one ever felt secure, and sales were practically nonexistent, so there was no real chance to succeed anyway. Raises and bonuses are nonexistent. Instead, you’re micromanaged, gaslit, and constantly reminded of billable targets that mean nothing.

      Getting better after a rough year

      Technology manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smartest people I’ve ever worked with Projects are interesting Benefits are great Remote work and flexible- I’m so thankful for this although it’s presenting cultural issues (see con) Almost everyone in the company is client facing including technical people Good pay Really good relationships with Salesforce, Adobe and other tech players especially for Shift size

      Cons

      Recent loss of three big clients and merging companies led to layoffs which has been horrible- although the company is quickly gaining new clients these layoffs and changes are still quite a shock to the culture and organization Remote work (yes also a pro) has led to a disconnection in people, teams and culture at all levels of the org. I’m shocked at how mean people are due to no in-person interaction. This needs to stop. People need to think about others and company not just their own remote self and one person opinions - we are not contractors Project diversity (yes also a pro) is tough sometimes due to having to learn/do simultaneously People are assigned to multiple clients which is fine to a point, but it’s hard to work on 4 projects/clients/tech due to the many needs and mental switching
