      Pros

      Some talented coworkers Exposure to decent client projects

      Cons

      Very vertical, hierarchical culture — you need permission for almost everything, which slows down work and discourages initiative Management is poor at communication and decision-making Leadership focuses on hierarchy rather than supporting employees Bonuses are frequently delayed or uncertain, which makes planning difficult and hurts trust Lack of empowerment and transparency leads to frustration and low morale

      Pros

      Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

      Cons

      A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

      Pros

      Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

      Cons

      The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that flexibility, ownership, and the people you work with have been positive parts of your experience. We understand your concerns about the bonus structure and how company‑wide performance can impact individual teams differently. Your perspective is valuable, and we’re actively reviewing our overall total rewards. We also appreciate the reminder that different markets have different needs. As we grow, we’re committed to improving how we support teams in every location and remotely. Thank you for your honesty and for the work you do!
