Pros

Hybrid Flexible hours Fruits&snacks 3 additional vacation days Health insurance

Cons

Hard-to-reach KPIs, poor management, little or no salary increases, a company that focuses more on hiring new employees than retaining current ones, an unfair salary gap between employees in the same role with similar experience, and limited opportunities for growth. Recently, almost all positions have become onsite, and the company is offering bonuses for working from the office

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
