Pros

If you’re living the overemployed life, this is the perfect company to do it for. Minimum effort is expected and you won’t be fired as long as you don’t do something incredibly stupid.

Cons

No training, minimum effort is encouraged, and you’re expected to figure out what your job is. Managers are powerless to help and you’re always being asked to do more with less. Want a bonus? You’ll be demanded to work nights and weekends.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
