Pros

Free coffee and a nice view.

Cons

Micro management, status reports on top of team meetings and one on one meetings. Which is frustrating because they will not listen to staff concerns. Firm keeps expanding its user base with a skeleton staff for IT resulting in a very high number of end users to support/support tickets,l. Most of your day is going through tickets you're essentially helpdesk no matter what your title is. No work / life balance, multiple maintenance windows each month and support calls can come in at any time including 3am. IT management has way too many active projects. Lack of meaningful PMO, engineers have to be project managers on top of doing the project work and supporting multiple systems and support tickets. A step backwards on my career.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
