Pros

The design team and leadership is very intentional. The career path is clearly outlined and one 1 on 1's with managers always seem to be fruitful. I feel like I can contribute and seek new opportunities within the organization. The work life balance is great, and I am able to remote work from virtually anywhere. Benefits are good. I feel like Method is pretty stable and well positioned for fluctuations in the economy, since we are a subsidiary of Hitachi. Doesn't feel like a cut-throat, hyper competitive consultancy when getting staffed on a project.

Cons

Starting to feel like Method is a small cog in the Global Logic machine, which is itself a cog in Hitachi. Cultural erosion has increasingly been brought up by some longer tenured employees as an area of concern, but culture is what you bring and contribute to. Some of the long term projects are a little stale, but can be a nice change of pace from loosely defined, sprint based projects.

Pros

A great consulting company that gives you great internship experience with cross-functional teams

Cons

As a junior software engineer, there's not many full time opportunities to work for METHOD, but they give you invaluable experience through their internship.

Pros

Genuinely, colleagues are smart, kind and generous

Cons

The cons are the projects that you get assigned on. unfortunately you have little control over that, and often due to lack of staffing you get put on projects you have no business being on. Projects issues include: - Bait and switch (told one thing, reality is different) - Set up to fail (no expertise, no training, impossible scope) - Under-resourced by design (sales drive this and often understaff to protect margin) - Team dysfunction (colleagues quit/disappear, you're left holding the bag) - No boundaries from leadership (client lead selling + executing with no limits) - Escalation ignored (flagged problems, nobody helped) - At client's beck and call (unreasonable expectations, constant demands)
