Pros

There are a lot of ways to learn the ropes at Novacoast as an IT consultant. Their intern program works very well to move candidates through to full time consultants.

Cons

They have a particularly heavy focus on Novell software, which is a niche market these days. While that lends them to being SMEs in that realm, Novell is a dying company and technology.

Unlimited room for growth, unlimited help from peers, remote work offered, flexible work hours if needed, no micro-managing, and overall just a good work life culture.

Cons

Some managers have a lot on their plates, making it hard to be available at all times.
