Pros
- Strong compensation and benefits considering size/resources of company - Personable and smart coworkers - Very flexible on work/life balance - Depending on your ability to work your way into the 'inner circle,' good opportunity to work along side CEO and provide input to business operations and decisions - No additional work requirements beyond staying billable and supporting a client. - Relatively flat structure, however very difficult to get management's support or buy-in.
Cons
- No discussion or planning of personal career development - Difficult to get outside training approved through upper management unless it is for PMP certification - Lack ability to staff open positions in a timely manner, often resulting in workload strain on other team members - Tendencies of favoritism when it comes to both work related decisions (salary increases, promotions) and none work related activities (sporting events tickets, active pursuits) - Terrible communication from front office management regarding both good and bad business impacts - For such a small company, no real unity among employees and/or contracts
