Pros

Client Solutions team members are really great people.

Cons

This place is extremely toxic. In the interview, they tell you that they have a start up culture and are very laid back. Nothing could be further from the truth. A couple of the managers are great, but they are all terrified of the owner, who runs the place like the Gestapo. A high level manager who is constantly late every day missed a meeting and he thought it was a good idea to chew out the employees that were already in the meeting (early) about coming to meetings on time. He's also a "self taught" Programmer that thinks his work does not need to be checked. The Client Solutions department is no picnic either. I watched him burst into the Client Solutions office one day and proceed to berate one of the employees for a mistake that was later found to be a non-issue, then he wouldn't even apologize after the fact. (Maybe too much protein powder that day)They like to hire full time employees to start a project that they need, and once the project is complete they come up with an excuse to let you go and offer you a small severance. The job is 9-5 salary but they expect you to stay late every day whether your work is done for the day or not and they do not pay for overtime. Stay away from this place!

Pros

Coming from years in the corporate grind it's been refreshing working for a company this size. Your voice matters, your work is taken seriously, and you can see the results first hand! This place is growing and constantly adding clients. A true team environment, no silos, everyone works great together with the goal to build this organization!

Cons

Weather can be cold in the winter but it's Providence, you knew that already

Pros

Great working environment. Everyone is busy, everyone gets their work done, but also everyone has fun, and that's super important! It's engraved in the company culture. I'm surrounded by very smart, talented people who care, and it's infectious. As a developer, I'm happy to be able to use the latest technology. We don't have to waste our time with archaic technology. If there's something out there that's brand new, and it can get the job done optimally, the company is willing to invest in it. Personally, this is the most important part for my professional career. The work is always fresh, you never feel stuck in a loop.

Cons

We're always busy, but it comes in waves. There are times when we are way too busy, and I wish it was level. It would be nice to be able to have time to educate the team more, but unfortunately we don't do it as often as we should.
