Pros

After working for multiple IT companies my experience in the field covers the full spectrum of job styles. At some companies I'd seem to watch paint dry for 40.00 hrs a week on the dot while at others I'd be drowning ,clocking in at over 90+ hrs some weeks on frequent occasion. Neither types are enjoyable for your career or home life. After nearly a year with ExtraTeam I can state they are the perfect balance. I'm never bored, constantly improving and my work/life balance is respected. Being in IT there will always be some after hours work based on your project. Learn how to manage your own calendar and it's a breeze. There hasn't been one situation yet where my upper management has forced or expected me to work a ridiculous amount of hours. The engineers that compose our team are at the top of the field in my opinion and my personal experience and skillsets have happily increased since on boarding. ...And my wife loves me at this job far beyond any others in my past. A happy wife = a happy life.

Cons

With most engineers having packed schedules during normal business hours there isn't much time for random interaction in the team.

Pros

High compensation Amazing management team Company is always evolving itself to stay relevant and profitable Great people to work with; Always available to help and answer questions Work-Life balance is manageable Hard work/effort is noticed and openly acknowledged Holiday party makes all the hard work worth it

Cons

I don't have any major "Cons" but here is some insight into what it takes to be an engineer for this company: 1. You need to be able to handle multiple projects at once - PM's help but the tasks are all yours 2. You need to have very good communication skills 3. You need to manage your work-life balance. Regular manager 1:1 meetings provide opportunity to communicate any balance issues. It can get overwhelming if you are not communicating with management. 4. You need to be focused on customer success and satisfaction 5. You need to be able to learn and apply new skills, quickly 6. You need to be able to ask questions without the fear of appearing inferior
