Pros

Outstanding leadership in the Services practice; competing business expectations hold them back from focusing on the areas they are experts in.

Cons

Ratios are terribly out of balance especially for managers and HR support. Too much is expected without viable and realistic support. Creates fatigue and then errors, which in turn are blamed on the manager or HR partner

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
