Pros

Salary is pretty solid Some of the people there are extremely talented Ability to get involved in many aspects of the company

Cons

PTO is abysmal, especially for a "tech" company Maternity leave is 2 weeks No clear path for promotion/growth within the company or professionally Not a ton of interesting work Values sound good in a sales pitch but wouldn't say they are practiced

Pros

- Worked with some very talented, smart people, especially at the delivery level and leads - Design leadership is good and is a strong advocate for designers - Salary is good - Opportunity to create new ways of doing things and pursue your own pet projects internally (albeit beyond your 40 hour billable work) - Work life balance is pretty good, no insane workloads

Cons

- Zero consideration for diversity (everything is very bro-centric) - Use design as a selling tool, but projects don't usually call for design work - Culture is about what can be posted on social media, not really about rewarding employees with tangible benefits (unless what you really want is a lot of t-shirts and swag) - Parental leave policies are laughable (2 weeks), and no paid sick leave (comes out of PTO) - Corporate doesn't really communicate anything - if you want to know anything beyond your own project, you have to know who to ask - Merit rewards aren't reflective of how leadership says they are growing/performing

Pros

Big promises when they hire, similar to a timeshare sales pitch

Cons

They put senior folks with a bunch of junior folks who are straight out of colege. Then they take all the crappy contracts with agreesive timelines to artificially compete with other contractors There are no swimlanes for who does what. Initially i thought maybe the problems i am facing were due to people in the project. But when i was requested to another project, i realized that its the entire company that is messed up. they ask the interns and the junior people to post all the positive reviewes you see here. they are not real. Completely made up. There are so many people who leave this company within 1 or 2 months. If they interview you, just ask them how many people have left the company within the first 6 months of joining the company? I wish i knew the answer before I joined
