Pros

They try to foster a fun family environment. There's a good work/life balance. Free lunch Fridays is always a big hit. Decent benefits. Great people to work with. Good product.

Cons

The people and the environment are so great that you end up getting comfortable and over looking the fact that there is almost zero growth potential. Not a place to stay if you want to advance your career. They pay you a lower base pay and tell you the bonus is to be considered part of your salary--but it did a big decline a few years ago which had a big impact on people's overall compensation. As the company adds more people, they don't add more points to the bonus pool either.

Pros

* Talented and hardworking team members across the department. * Opportunities to gain cross-functional experience and exposure to a variety of projects. * Team members are often supportive of one another despite leadership challenges.

Cons

* Project Services leadership operates with a narrow, rigid definition of what a “successful” project manager looks like, and advancement often depends more on alignment with a specific leadership style than actual performance or impact. * Employees with different cognitive or communication styles, including neurodivergent individuals, may find their strengths undervalued, while his or her deviations from the norm are scrutinized. * There is little room for authenticity. Employees may feel pressure to conform to be seen as leadership material. * Even infrequent mistakes can become long-term reputational markers, with limited opportunity for growth or reset. * A noticeable gap exists between positive performance feedback and actual career progression, even for tenured high performers with strong stakeholder feedback. * Managers are not consistently positioned or empowered to advocate effectively for their team members. * Policies, including hybrid/work-from-home expectations, are applied inconsistently, impacting trust and fairness. * Leadership culture can feel cliquey, with visibility and advancement influenced by informal networks rather than transparent criteria.
