Pros

If you position yourself next to the right people, you can learn a lot. Lovely view of the viaduct. Free snacks. Decent PTO accrual, if you can manage to use it.

Cons

You are expected to work a minimum of 50 hours per week as a salaried employee, which generally ends up being 60-70. Even when you have time off, you’re expected to be checking in. Management chooses favorites, and focuses entirely on them. Don’t expect any direction, bonuses or opportunity if you aren’t one of the cool kids- that is, if you weren’t poached from the law firm that all of the upper management used to work at together. You will be left by the wayside. If you complain about it, you’ll be labeled “a bad fit” for the culture.

Pros

Great PTO and WFH. Amazing people i worked with. Truly the reason I stayed as long as I did. The PAC (HR) team js helpful and cares.

Cons

Layoffs are every year. You need to be billable but sales staff has been decimated. I pretty well knew I was next to be chopped. Since the CEO change, it has been down hill. Management changed and it went from feeling welcome to feeling like a burden. Leadership has changed a lot and has become distant and cold. I went from feeling like I was valued to just being low hanging fruit for an easy cost cut while the leader got promoted.
