Pros

Remote work is the only pro that I can think of.

Cons

Work pressure is too high. There is no work life balance. They expect us to put in 14 hrs a day to work. There is a process called 'client concern' which doesn't make any sense in many ways. All blame is on lead or engineer, there is no sense of support by management team. Tremendous amount of Micro management, to the point where checking to see why employee is not online in Teams.

Pros

* Great people on internal team * Remote work * Some opportunity (if you practically beg) to get added to other types of projects that you enjoy

Cons

* Can be laid off even after receiving “exceeding expectations” on every performance review * Limited growth opportunities * Executives who know nothing about your projects will make the assumption that you don’t have enough work. * Constant layoffs but monthly newsletters highlight new hires and CEO sends promotion announcements days after major company layoffs. They don’t really try to move folks around to avoid unnecessary layoffs * no maternity leave and bad healthcare plan * Lower end of pay range * Sales and Executive teams will say yes to projects before coordinating with the teams that will be working on the projects, causing unrealistic expectations for what the teams can accomplish. * they say they care about employee satisfaction but oddly enough “forgot” to send out the employee sat survey last year before major layoffs and announcing the change in healthcare plans, and the again waited to send the survey until after people were laid off from the company.
