Pros

Company has reasonable benefits and salary.

Cons

The billable hours that are targeted to reach are unreachable unless you plan to work 80 hours a week as there are no allowances for training, mentoring or weekly team meetings in the billable goal.

Pros

Flexible time off - If you can get around to using vacation time.

Cons

Worst office politics in the workplace I’ve ever encountered. The firm has two goals, appeasing management, and growing top line revenue and does not care for much else. They will treat staff and seniors very poorly - i.e. overworking, and always underpaying compared to market rates, as well as dangling promotions over employees heads to get them to work more (and then not delivering on said promotions). You either sip the Kool-Aid of management or you won’t be treated favorably.

Our employees are our number one asset, so we are glad to hear that you were able to take advantage of our flexible time off benefit. We are very disappointed to hear of your less-than-ideal experience with us. Poor treatment of staff is certainly not tolerated by our leadership and is not a part of our overall culture, and we take feedback regarding this issue very seriously. We will continue to improve our offering of relevant internal training to develop fair and compassionate managers through a culture of collaboration and accountability.
