Pros

Great benefits, fun co-workers, nice offices, allows for work/life balance, decent variety of projects and clients.

Cons

During the last few months of my employment there wasn't much new work coming in which was unfortunate and those projects that did come in weren't very challenging. I suppose in hindsight that's not surprising considering the state right now of the tech companies we worked with in the embed model. Also people were nice and easy to get along with, there was definitely a disjointed connection among different agencies working together. I guess that's expected though since the merging and acquisition is still relatively new.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
