Pros

• Work Life Balance • Benefits are great • Relaxed Dress Code on Campus Office • Work From Home opportunities (Pre-COVID). • Tuition Reimbursement without having to stay at the company for a certain period of time. • 401-K match is up to 5% • PTO and company holidays are extravagant • Company mimics everything Google is doing, so they’re trying to get there. Not quite the Google environment. Maybe one day if they keep following.

Cons

• Terrible Diversity and Inclusion • The little diversity the company has is at the bottom of the hierarchy: Document pusher, call center, production-based jobs, customer service, security, etc. • Terrible all performance review • Promotion s are based on politics • Lack of educated and skilled managers and supervisors • Strong, strong office politics • Anyone can learn the job, the job posting qualifications asks for things that management don’t have - degrees and certifications • Title seekers: Associate, Sr. Associate, Principal Associate - Title don’t matter, salary does. A promotion from one position to the next is approximately 5-10% raise, which isn’t a lot at all. That pay range for an associate starts at 53K and Sr associate starts at 60K - 10% is not a lot over the course of a year.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
