Pros

As you would expect, some of the people you work with day to day. The office view is nice for prospective clients and employees, but isn't that the point.

Cons

Don't let the company name fool you, the majority of the work is not agile in any way, The founders of the company are either checked out or simply don't care anymore because they are never around and engage with the people actually generating revenue. They are not a consulting firm. They are a staffing company that only cares about keeping everyone billing no matter how many nights and weekends you put in. Those in current leadership roles are clearly not qualified, pass the buck, blame others to cover their own inadequacies, and do not care about their people as long as they hit their financial numbers. Throwing people food and drinks like some sort of animal behind a cage does not mean you care. From what I can tell they have no real plan for increasing their client base other than to say we are looking to land more enterprise clients. No kidding but that is not a plan. No career or professional develpment of any kind unless you do everything yourself which is not what they said during the interviewing process. They are afraid to push back on clients when they are clearly unreasonable in their expectations because they don't want to deal with it. News flash..... appeasing to everyone actually leads to constantly being run over and not respected.

Pros

The best co-workers I have ever worked with. Free food and drinks. Great learning environment.

Cons

I was told I would have a work/life balance in my interview but have had to fight for my personal time since I started. Employees are told to go home and tell their families they will be working 24/7. We are told to go home and wait by our laptops. You will be told, not asked. There is no consideration whatsoever for personal time. This depends on the project, of course, but this is the general culture of this company. I also suspect some manipulation by upper management in order to get as many hours as they can out of employees, i.e. promotions that aren't exactly realistic. If you do get promoted, say goodbye to friends and family. Something else I noticed- not a lot of diversity in upper management and executive branch.

Pros

The developers here are top notch folks. The facilities are amazing with an amazing view. There is a beer fridge and snacks. There's a foosball table and T.V. You can end up on some amazing projects with great new tech.

Cons

You will only enjoy the perks if you are in the office. If you are put in a staff augmentation role, then that is all gone. You are effectively an employee of the company you are staff augmentation at. You can end up on the worst technology, if that's what the client need is.
