Pros

Amazing perks including work from home Fridays, yummy snacks and drinks, weekly catered lunches, and flexible PTO. Friendly, laid back workplace. Brazilian employees get to travel to SF. Lots of projects come through to get a good mixture of apps to IOT or whatever is new.

Cons

PTO needs approval 6mo beforehand if a week or more. Recent changes in expectations.. if you are sick and take a day off, your team needs to do your work so the deadlines get met. If there is a company meeting, expected to work overtime to make up for time away from client projects. Sometimes teams get moved around mid project without notice sometimes makes things more difficult. Essence in the air that it is more important to make money than make the client happy. Many times need to ship a product before all the bugs are worked out, which just makes you feel uneasy, but you are already assigned to another project so it is out of your hands.

Pros

ArcTouch provides an unprecedented level of transparency to its employees. Their managers and executives are all available to anyone and they provide regular forums for asking questions. ArcTouch provides significant career advancement opportunities, but they expect you to grab the bull by the horns, they won't just hand it to you. You have to know what you want and go for it, then show you are capable of doing it, then you can aim for advancement. I've seen a lot of people get promoted to very important positions from fairly low level starts. Project and client variety available, but also stability for longer term depending on your client assignment and if you like what you are doing. Great work life balance.

Cons

The company's growth seems to have stagnated and they had to pull back and right size recently. Only the underperforming and extra overhead people seem to have been let go so everyone left seems to be high quality.
