Software Engineer - Senior Software Engineer Launch Consulting Employee Review

If you want to use and learn AI every single day, not just talk about it, this is the best opportunity I've seen. AI tooling is embedded in how we deliver, sell, and operate internally, from agentic platforms for clients to AI assistants in our own workflows. You learn by doing, on real client problems, with top-tier technology partners in the mix. The new leadership team, many with a legacy at Maven Wave Partners, brings a proven playbook for building a premium, partner-led consulting firm, and you can feel the difference in how the firm operates. The strategy has sharpened around AI transformation and it finally feels coherent. Talented, collaborative people who genuinely want to build something.

There has been significant leadership turnover and several shifts in strategy over the past 12 months, and that created real whiplash for teams. The bigger ongoing friction is the legacy mindset of The Planet Group, the parent company, which still operates more like a staffing business than a consulting firm. That shows up in places like investment decisions, back-office processes, and how growth is measured, and it can slow down the transformation the new leadership is driving.

Decent salary, they were able to find me two alternative jobs to move to once I was laid off due to client budget cuts to the project.

Minimal national holidays recognized, no raise or inflation adjustment in over 2 years. No bonus, no annual evals, expensive health insurance.
