Pros

At one point, two years ago, I would have suggested the benefits are great and likely better than most companies I have come across.

Cons

Benefits. Marketed to employees as great, the benefits or "selling points of the company" are consistently and systematically denied. Training, Education, reimbursements, book allowance, docked maternity/paternity leave, denial of pay for required overtime, wage increases, etc. Dishonesty. Praescient Executives have been trying to sell the company for a few years now. That is fine, but something you should be honest about with employees, old or new. Even as documentation on the denied procurement made it's way to employees, Executives continue a dishonest approach. I have personally been privy to discussions with Executives and employees, where those employees are fed promise one (lie) and promise two (lie) in order to retain them or block them from going elsewhere; and staying much in-line with the core culture the company operates on, these promises are consistently and systematically revoked and denied. This includes backdoor employee salary changes without consent or contract updates, denial of promised bonuses after work completion, and "do this or you're fired" approach. High Turnover. With a retention rate in the negative, this mostly speaks the most about the company culture. The company, in it's short life span thus far, has seen three Senior Executive resignations, to include a founder of the company, and nine Directors resignations (i.e. Operations, HR, BD, Recruiting, Finance, Talent). Getting into the Consultants the company wished or attempted to retain, excluding those simply moving on for better opportunities, and resignations skyrocket past fifty. Take a moment, search LinkedIn, and contact former employees. This will be all you need to do. Litigious There has not been a former employee or business partner that the Executives have not tried to sue. I am not being hyperbolic. Again, search LinkedIn, contact former employees. These statements are based on my first-hand knowledge of the company and my direct experiences. Again, I highly recommend any individual considering this company to contact former employees.

Pros

Company gave me autonomy to grow my skill sets. I've been included in meetings that in my last job I would have not been allowed to join. Very inclusive company. Friendly, fun and mature leadership.

Cons

Some of the remote employees caused some negative issues which caused some disruption.

Pros

Rigorous application process. Always felt like fellow employees were technically proficient, mission-focused, and motivated. The work itself was challenging and exciting. I always felt like I was adding value to the customer organization and was constantly given positive feed back. In the beginning the company was appropriately hands-off as far as micro-managing the analysts. You were able to work closely with more experienced members that stretched back to the first days of the company and its partnerships with the client. It was a true example of being mentored to greater amounts of technical proficiency and leadership responsibility and interactions with the customer.

Cons

The company had a written policy that they would cover the (reasonable) costs of technical training for personal and company skills enhancement. Numerous requests, my own as well as others, were accepted in paper form but never returned. They just seemingly disappeared down a rabbit hole. The company also had a tremendous amount of overhead positions that did not earn any money for the company. As more and more overhead was taken on over the months, it made analysts feel like they were cash cows for the company but little else. There was very little opportunity to transfer to other locations even when those positions became open. When forced to work overtime, the company would not pay any more money, even if you had to work on military timelines (12 hour days for one to two weeks at a time. A field exercise for example). Lastly, the company was transparent in the beginning, with various teams helping each other frequently. But over the months less and less flowed down until it seemed as though the company was purposefully not allowing communication between teams, and providing very little leadership.
