Pros

You get to work on projects for big names, which could look good on your resume if you sell it right. You also don't have to pay for cable, because Sagepath provides 8+ hours of hilarious office dramas with a crazy cast of characters every Monday through Friday.

Cons

...unfortunately, you are required to be a part of said drama. The culture might be enjoyable if you're a young Buckhead "professional" who needs the job to fund their life of TV-esque hedonism, but if you are seeking legitimate professional growth, I suggest you turn around and run the other way. This place will advertise the myriad technologies you will get to use, with my interviewer even telling me, "If you don't like what you're working on, wait a week!" (aka, you won't learn anything about the development life-cycle because all we get is mundane work from other companies), they'll show you the nerf guns they proudly display in the open office (aka, the oldest trick in the book for luring in unsuspecting recent grads), and they'll force you to endure noisy and inane conversations every day, most of which will inevitably devolve into shouting matches. Gossip and general disparagement are common here, meetings are inefficient and unprofessional as can be, and if you're a woman, you will receive a lot of unwanted attention. You can probably squeeze industry standard compensation out of them if you try, but they WILL try to undercut you. Demand more than you think you deserve, and if they refuse, consider it a bullet dodged.

Pros

- The company is small (10-15 people), so there is an opportunity to participate in many of the projects. - I worked with some really talented people at Sagepath. - I worked on diverse and interesting projects. - Salaries are competitive.

Cons

- Work/life balance is poor: Management does not respect personal boundaries and demands that you respond to after-hour phone calls and emails. They regularly require employees to work holidays and be available during paid time off. No one leaves early. - Turnover is high: In 2 years 31 people have left the company. - The benefits package is weak: Fewer paid holidays than industry standard. Zero comp time or pay for overtime. - Culture is poor: Management cultivates an environment of paranoia, resulting in little collaboration. New employees are not introduced to the team. Management encourages employees to spy on each other. - Creative is poor: Talent doesn't stay long because projects are micromanaged by one of the owners.

Pros

I came away with great friends and a stellar network of very talented people who have since left the company. The clients are fantastic, salt-of-the-earth people.

Cons

• Lacks leadership and has little internal process – everything is done by the “fly by the seat of your pants” methodology including billing and invoicing. • Insincere approach to client services. Often internal project teams are kept in the dark and are not encouraged to collaborate on projects. Most everything is done at the last minute. It’s a “yes” approach to most everything rather than working towards actual client solutions and providing strong recommendations. • Execution of projects is valued more than strategic or thought-leadership. Very little planning. • Next to no account/project management. • Employee retention is poor. It’s a revolving door of very talented people. This creates a stressful environment for those still in the office. • Team lunches or happy hour is strongly discouraged. • Over sale positions and titles; management does not allow employees to reach their potential or do the work that the employee thought they were hired to do. • No professional development, training or opportunities to “move up” • No work/life balance and lack of personal boundaries from management. It’s 24/7.
