Pros

- variety of work (consulting) - acquired by Bain - unlimited PTO

Cons

This company is incredibly disorganized and does not have a grasp on what it means to take care of employees. Onboarding was non-existent (bad at any level but fatal at the senior leadership level), expectations and feedback were not adequately provided (even after multiple attempts), and internal processes were undefined and arbitrary. They still operate with a “small scrappy startup” mentality (including apparent zero accountability for executive leadership) even though they are a growing organization that was acquired by Bain.

Pros

Hard work and performance is rewarded. Incredibly talented teammates who are passionate and committed about delivering high quality software

Cons

There are politics at play -- you will need to demonstrate consistent performance and a strong work ethic to the leadership team if you want to be put on interesting projects.

Pros

Decent pay, 401k, good WLB, remote work, awesome coworkers, opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Got hired for a particular technology that I specialize in and got put on a project that is for something entirely unrelated. What you work on is pretty much out of your control and depends on what is needed at the time. Ambiguous metrics for bonus attainment/raises.
