Pros

The compensation is reasonable. The opportunity to work from home is a positive aspect, and there may be travel opportunities based on client requirements, making it a suitable option for those who enjoy traveling.

Cons

There is a presence of internal cliques within the company, which can make career advancement challenging if you're not closely aligned with those groups. The overall work environment can sometimes feel disorganized. A negative review from a previous account lead had a significant impact on my performance review, resulting in an assessment below expectations. Following this, I was reassigned from one project in March to another. Unfortunately, I was let go mid-project. Additionally, my account lead for my final project was difficult to reach, as he rarely responded to my emails or team messages, which were crucial for the end-of-year review. Despite multiple attempts to contact him over the course of a month, I received no response. Eventually, I had to ask my team lead to reach out on my behalf, which took an additional two weeks for any feedback. When the decision was made to end my employment, the client account I was working with was unaware of the situation and was caught off guard. My account lead was under the impression that my project roll-off date was at the end of January, when in fact it was set for the end of June, reflecting a lack of communication and clarity from management.

Pros

I genuinely enjoyed much of my time at the company and worked with smart, dedicated teammates. In my later roles, especially as a Principal UX Designer, I had significant autonomy, owned strategy and design decisions, and was trusted to lead complex work. Leadership on my most recent contract was supportive, and the scope of work was engaging and impactful. When conditions were right, it was a great place to do thoughtful UX work.

Cons

Experiences varied significantly by contract and leadership. Earlier in my time as a UX Researcher, teams were overextended, heavily micromanaged, and often received feedback that was not actionable or outcome driven. Career advancement is challenging, particularly for those who take maternity leave, and promotion paths lack transparency. Ethical alignment was also a concern. Partnerships with vendors such as Palantir, given their involvement in ICE surveillance and other government programs widely criticized by human rights organizations, conflicted with my personal and professional values. Additionally, company wide communications around Israel and Gaza lacked nuance and empathy, expressing support for Israel without acknowledging the humanitarian impact on Palestinian civilians, which was painful and alienating for some Arab and Muslim colleagues with friends or family directly affected by the violence.
