Great firm with some bad apples

Information technology

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

*The mentorship program was great. * Exposure to a lot of new trendy technology

Cons

*They pay a little more than average, but will leverage it against you when staying late nights and weekends. *Very "cliquey" mid level management will jeopardize your career despite them not being your direct supervisor. * Managers seem to back up other managers before their own teammates. * Even on requested days off or sick days you are expected to respond to emails, text messages, calls etc...
