Vantaggi
- Transparent salary and promotion track - Exposure to a variety of companies, from Fortune 100 to small regional companies - After a few projects, you develop a generalist skillset that is a great enabler for both your Pariveda career and a career elsewhere if you leave - Wonderful people work here. Most of my best friends are former or current Fins (their word for employee)
Svantaggi
- If you want to be a technical expert, go elsewhere. There's a ceiling you hit if you want to do individual contributor work at a high level. - Because of a lack of technical opportunities, there is massive brain drain of people leaving that occurs when people get to the Associate 2 and Manager level (I left right before Manager) . I was never happy with the quality of work we'd create because most people didn't actually care to implement the technology correctly, just meeting arbitrary client deadlines. - Leadership cares more about selling more work than building the things our clients actually need. This is particularly egregious for clients who don't bring their own technical expertise to the project, because nobody can tell Pariveda isn't doing good work. - Don't expect to get paid well in a technical position. Despite being mostly an IT consulting company, the salaries aren't comparable to industry at all. In addition, they don't adjust for cost of living nearly enough. Because leadership is based in Dallas, one of the cheapest locations of the Pariveda offices, they don't realize that their compensation is terrible in most of the other offices
