Honestly, there aren’t any major downsides I experienced during my time here. It’s easy to see why so many employees stay for years — it’s a great place for long-term growth

Good place to work when there's a budget and economy is doing well.

In a poor recession economy the budget cuts are real and layoffs are by the masses. You're pretty much salary capped from the start and unless you suck up to upper management you won't see promotions or anything of the sort in years to come. Would prefer to hire external consultants and convert them to full time employees.
