Vantaggi
As the company loves to claim - the culture. Which is true. Us, as employees, make this a fun place to work because we have to. - Individual Healthcare premium paid for - Sometimes flexible schedule, but they make you feel like they're doing you a huge favor - Fairly good resume builder. You work with lots of large companies that look great to employers and actually offer a competitive salary.
Svantaggi
Where to start....You are told you are trusted and valued, yet the benefits that apply to management don't apply to you as an employee. Work from home? Only with an extremely good reason (so you can continue to contribute to company "culture"). Yet, management can decide day of that they need to work from home and they do so and often for trivial reasons you would be denied for. Only way to get raises is through a long and tedious program in which you have to prove your worth to management. The raises they consider huge, but if you really are working and learning, it's very small, slow to get, and trivial. No quarterly reviews. It takes all responsibility off of management and puts it onto your own shoulders so when things don't work out, it is your own fault. Also means any sort of extra work on your end - education, special training, certificates - that adds VALUE to you (which in turn adds value for them as they can sell you for a wider variety of projects) do not mean anything. Unless, you have these credentials on point of hire. Get them while working there? Means nothing. Easier to find a similar job elsewhere that pays much better once you have some experience then to appeal for a raise to remain here. Good pay for someone with no work background or little experience. Terrible pay for someone with a solid work background, experience, and education. Sadly, they do not budge with that.
