Pros

Whoever did the graphic design for company merch and branding was great!!!

Cons

- corrupt management (you will be required to work for unpaid wages daily with your Deltek and administrative work) this adds up to hours a week. - empty promises of bonuses and promotions. - not a female friendly environment - HR acts like they care but really are just looking out for themselves. - poorly managed projects where obsession with billable hours (I’m talking 100% billable, like even company meetings charged to clients) causes projects to go over. Then they blame their team for working too slow and you can imagine what that does to moral. - never have I seen more exemplified how employees can really just be pawns to the executives. ( no for real they don’t care about you hear. You will make more and find MUCH MUCH better company culture elsewhere im serious.) - they promote company culture that actually doesn’t exist outside of meetings with executives. - you will work 45 hours minimum weekly. Even when slow to ‘get ahead’ which leads to getting too far ahead and having to go back and make changes when more information comes in the next week and that causes projects to go over. - they hire managers who don’t want to manage, just grow their career. - they pay you less if your vape nicotine, even recreationally. And they blood test you annually. - they basically treat you very poorly. - empty promises. - a weird place, stay away you WILL find better, for work/life balance AND for your resume.
