Lead software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You may luck out an get assigned to a decent project (rarely). OK healthcare benefits.

Cons

Lowball salaries - way below the average for the industry and location. Rude, unprofessional management with slaveholders mentality. Overtimes are rarely payed. Chaotic organization with 3-5 managers above an average employee (not helping). Processes are present on paper yet everything depends on personal relations and pure luck. No culture and work ethics whatsoever.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a lot of projects in a lot of different locations (good or bad) and you can relocate globally or across the US. Due to the nature of the business company has. expertise in a lot of different areas and you can definitely find something you fit. Good internal tools and support of general infrastructure are excellent again due to the nature of the outsourcing type of business. Medical insurance is good.

Cons

All are customer-centric and based on project and company management treat you based on customer feedback or how the customer likes you. As result, all come to favoritism and a toxic work environment. Contract type of work and company in most cases block your ability to switch to FTE position with the same client. Salary is lower compare to the market rate, not stock options or etc, and most of the people leaving the company where they obtain a green card. Not too much support during COVID time. You're not able to start GC process if you're not assigned to any project and sitting on the bench. No gym reimbursements, home office, volunteering day-off, tuition or etc.
