Pros

I love my job! It is fully remote. However, the climate/culture is extremely engaging and supportive. We have internal incentives to encourage cross-team praise. There is a culture committee that focuses on making sure we offer inclusive and collaborative times to connect. Additionally, growth and learning are both valued, for we have monthly professional development time and optional book read opportunities. I love what I do and who I get to do it with!

Cons

I do not have any negative comments.

Pros

* Leadership has made a lot of points to get and act on feedback from the internal teams. * Lots of time is given to dealing w tech debt and improving future development efforts * Most consulting clients are fairly reasonable * Lots of work to hire and train folks who have otherwise might have trouble getting into software industry.

Cons

* Consulting is a hard business where you work with a lot of different people in rapid succession sometimes, and that can be tough in any context, and this is one of those where in unlucky circumstances you are working on something you don't love with not a lot of options internally. * Turnover has *seemed* fairly high while I've been here. It's hard to stay engaged when people you like are gone. Turnover may in fact be within normal industry numbers, but it's not easy. * Some of the consulting projects are very old and sometimes gnarly, which is likely a negative for new developers, and sometimes a positive for experienced ones. * Salary is not transparent
