Positive messaging masks a culture of disposability

Pros

Positive messaging keeps moral high.

Cons

All the positive messaging is lies. The company simultaneously tries to appeal to the current administration to get contracts for such things as surveillance of US citizens, while using a pink logo to indicate that they are "inclusive". Most of all, at the end of the day, employees are disposable and they WILL cut you off without warning. I got lucky this last time, but I won't be sticking around for the next one.

Pros

The company itself is decent, with reasonable benefits and some good people. Work-life balance is generally acceptable.

Cons

Project Management is terrible. The PM lacks honesty when communicating with customers about deliverables and timelines. They frequently overpromise and underdeliver. The PM does not shield or support the team properly and often misrepresents reality both to the client and internally. There is a strong preference for a completely flat organizational structure, regardless of years of experience or expertise. This leads to poor decision-making and frustration for senior team members. The account team is noticeably very female-biased. Male employees often feel sidelined or undervalued in account-related decisions and opportunities.

Pros

Steampunk seems to put a major emphasis on hiring good people, and good work stems in part from that philosophy. The company culture is very supportive and inclusive, and remote work helps with the flexibility that life requires.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that you only get 2 weeks of PTO plus federal holidays, which goes fast.
