Pros

Super cool new office building with state of the art furniture, computer systems, and kegerators. The employees tend to be talented professionals.

Cons

Had to layoff over 60 employees in less than one year due to over-investing in office space that is now severely oversized for the number of employees left at the firm. Entirely too dependent on a singular tech client, and has no plan in place to find new work elsewhere. The pay is well below average and raises will be mitigated by the salary cuts they implement to stay afloat.

Pros

There have been a lot of positive changes over the last few years, resulting in quicker decision-making and a new, refreshing perspective. The transition to female-led leadership has brought a modern energy to the company, opening up a variety of new project opportunities and clear potential for professional growth.

Cons

Change takes time. While the leadership is moving fast, the overall organizational shift can feel a little slow for those of us eager to see the "new" version of the company fully realized.

Pros

Lots of positive momentum over the past year. The new female-led leadership team has brought clarity, decisiveness, and great new energy. Still offers strong benefits, medical, dental, PTO, etc. And we’re a dog-friendly office now, which has honestly been the best.

Cons

The firm is redefining itself, and that can take time.
