Pros

Flexible hours. Reasonably easy to switch teams.

Cons

Changed working from home policy after Thermo Fisher acquisition to force employees to work in the office. Even jobs that can be fully remote. Removed policy that allowed employees to roll over excess PTO to next year. Changed policy around how much PTO is earned. It is not significantly less for new employees. Promotions after a certain point don't happen. They force you to apply for the next role and go through an interview process. Would rather give bonuses instead of pay raises. Pay is less than companies in area. Opportunities are heavily dependent on the group and supervisor. Company puts individuals in leadership roles without training or experience. This negativity impacts the experience of the employees.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
