Pros

Anyone could get hired here. It was technically a development job, and an accessible route for no-collar folks to enter the industry.

Cons

The most chaotic management experience I've ever encountered. Team leads didn't seem to know what was going on. Upper management did not pay attention to feedback, instead opting to sell snake oil to clients about our productivity. Repeatedly, my team members and I were asked to deceive visiting clients by pretending to work on complicated projects, or by giving overly positive testimony about our experience at the company. The training is a joke. It's computer science 101 packaged with the baseline of "specialized training" for legacy/enterprise tech over the course of two months. I saw multiple people fail even these tests, only to have their scores painted over. It does not matter to the management, they'll just tell clients they passed. Benefits and compensation are the best part of the job, and they're pretty mediocre. Lower than average salary, lower quality insurance.
