Pros

Great people work there (hopefully that will last). I would have given 1 star otherwise.

Cons

Leadership changed in the past few years and became extremely focused on billable hours. You must exceed them to be average and the hours expected are already over the roof. All the effort and time put in and the raving reviews received from multiple people in multiple levels did not matter, all that mattered at the end was profit, revenue, hours. The company went down hill 2 years ago and it keeps going. 80% of the teams I was working with quit.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
