Pros

Remote is always a plus , If you are early in your career, this can be a place to learn. You will get exposure to compliance work and real client environments, which can be valuable if you have limited options. It can be a stepping stone if you are intentional about what you take from it.

Cons

Engineering experience is highly dependent on your team and manager. Offshoring continues to ramp up and has a noticeable impact on workload and morale. Management gossip about engineers is normalized, which creates a lack of trust. There are times where integrity around delivery feels flexible in order to save money or move faster.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
