Pros

- Very good company to start a career with. There's a lot to learn and it's a great introduction in the IT world. It really opens a lot of doors into this area. - It keeps growing as a company, so the opportunities are not missing. If you're showing some interest and put in some effort, it's quite easy to promote from entry level to senior advisor/ back office positions, even in 6-8 months of employment. Things get complicated, though, from Team leader and above. - they have some really heavy names as customers from all fields & industries, you can somehow feel proud for working for some of them - salaries are not high, but decent. Again, good starting point.

Cons

- no transparency from management; not even from local middle management towards people, so I'm not even mentioning senior management - some of the managers are arrogant and self-sufficient, they create a toxic environment in their teams. This gets even worse towards top management. However, this is not happening in all of the teams, there still are reasonable managers. - people don't feel valued and cared about; they're actually mocking the company's motto "people matter, results count" because at times they feel it's exactly the opposite - projects with night shifts can be really hard to keep up with, depending on the hours you work. You also get to work weekends.

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.
