Vantaggi
From the perspective of someone who started their career here... It was a great place to kickstart my growth. I became very comfortable with software engineering, and dare I say passionate about it? I really do have to thank the environment at Pariveda for that. Amazing people and culture Good work life balance, encouraged to take PTO ESOP Transparent, equitable pay scale (I truly miss this now that I'm gone)
Svantaggi
The career path here is very straight and narrow. You go into the Manager role with a focus on project management. Then you are expected to go into the Principal role with a focus on project sales (the consultants really being the product that you're selling). If you love the sound of that, and it aligns with your career goals, then Pariveda can be a valuable place for you to stay. Unfortunately, there are also many consultants who see themselves growing in technical architect roles as they progress in their career, and Pariveda is no longer a good fit for them. Thus, a lot of talent ends up leaving, which is damaging for Pariveda since the talent / consultants are the product being sold Other cons: severe lack of diversity. there are pushes but they never really seem effective or genuine Pay is not competitive. I'd say the base pay seems competitive at face value, but it simply doesn't compare to other companies who offer the same base pay, stock equity PLUS annual bonuses There are always looming deadlines since that's just the nature of the consulting project work. Depending on the project, you can end up in a very high-stress environments... which is probably most projects
