Pros

Willing to take college hires and train them in workday

Cons

Will overwork you. No worklife balance. No standardized processes. Sales team will undersell and overpromise projects, which means you are staffed on projects that end up being 3x the work they should be, leading to being overutilized. You are staffed alone for 5 projects, and expected to find your own backups if you ever want to take a day off.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
