Pros

Fully remote work was allowed for me, until it wasn't.

Cons

I had a boss, technically, but in the two years i worked there, not once did I talk to him. For the vast majority of my time here, I had ZERO work. Nice at first, getting paid to do nothing? Score. But inevitably you get assigned, and are expected to hit the ball running. As I got this job out of college, I had no experience. I tried my best to do what was asked but no one either at Cap or my assignment (Fidelity) acted like they wanted to help. In the whole time I was without assignment, all I was told is "Learn, keep your skills sharp." That's great and all but in programming that's not NEARLY enough direction. What language? What parts of it?

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
