Vantaggi
The greatest part of Pariveda is the fantastic culture. Everyone cares about everyone else's personal development and commitment to interesting work. Your career goals and what you want to become (as long as you express it!) are valued highly by the management team, and opportunities are provided for you to become a well-rounded expert in what you want to excel at. Finally, the management team is ridiculously approachable. I've played video games with the office manager after hours!
Svantaggi
As with any consulting job, you may end up with work that you're not 100% in love with from time to time. However, unlike most companies, it's okay and you should express that to your management, and they will legitimately do what they can to give you interesting work! Additionally, you have to be expressive of what you want to do or where you want to end up (like with most jobs) to get interesting work and to develop in what you love. Finally, the pay is less initially than industry software engineering, but the development and payoff in the long run is worth it (plus you'll move a lot faster).
