Pros

Its a job if you really need one. With the number of people leaving the bar is EXTREMELY low...

Cons

-zero worklife balance.. FTO is an excuse to interrupt you whenever they want -company culture is the worst I've ever experienced. More in common with a highschool drama club then a functioning company -turnover is insane. multiple vps in under 6 months, over a dozen directors and above... writing is on the wall -overcharge clients, toss minimal skilled people at the client... straight up unethical -file a complaint, get ready for reprisal. feedback is frequently punished by ELT -COO is the most clueless person I have met. Thinks his rolladex of people will get him out of all his problem.. only thing is its full of his clueless buds. -CEO is extremely narcisitic and takes every opportunity to talk himself up on all hands vs addressing problems in the company

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
