Pros

There was a Playstation 4 in the break room

Cons

The different departments didn't communicate, causing stress for the bottom rung employees. The compensation is misrepresented before you sign the offer letter. They claim that they pay out a large bonus, but the rules to qualify for even a basic bonus are extremely rigid. Get your compensation as salary heavy in the beginning. The parent company really mismanaged the acquisition of my company. Lots of broken promises as soon as the revenue forecast didn't increase as much as we had been directed to. They cut salaries at the start of the pandemic. They have a "cost of living raise" annually, but that raise is actually your performance raise and it CAN be withheld from an entire department. The HR system is completely disjointed. There is no central portal and many things are managed on entirely different websites. I had to use two instances of ADP to fill out my time sheet every week.

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.
