Pros

-Knowledgeable, friendly co-workers that are open for questions and technical support. -Awesome medical benefits. -Flexible hours and no pressure requesting vacation time. -Management makes it easy for employees to schedule meetings with them if you ever need to talk. -Management is very prompt on answering or researching your questions.

Cons

-As one reviewer said for the Helena site, too many signatures needed by managers on the company and client sides to get tasks rolling quickly. -Recognition is next to invisible. -Management on all levels is less than adequate when it comes to the business side of things (read, disconnect between management and clients). Also very top heavy with managers. -Training before you start a new project is non-existent. -Promotions and advancement seem unattainable. Managerial decisions of who gets a raise or is promoted is decided before employees even get to their year end, performance management meetings.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
