Pros

Definitely a lot of cool projects and flexibility. You can work with some great people, very kind people too.

Cons

Promos are not accurate to what you accomplish in the slightest. I was hired into my role without a Masters. My first manager loved me, as she saw the impact I made. Most people I worked directly with felt that I did a good job. I'd argue I carried many of the teams I worked on. Later, we got a new manager, and he literally told me I should not have gotten my role initially without a Masters, and didn't entertain a promotion into senior. This is despite, again, me repeatedly doing the work of seniors through the years.

Pros

- Exceptional flexibility to chart your own professional path, allowing you to focus heavily on technical delivery or pivot into management as you see fit. - A wide variety of projects across different domains, offering plenty of opportunities to dive into interesting and impactful work. - The day to day environment is elevated by genuinely friendly, intelligent, and collaborative coworkers.

Cons

- Recent significant reductions in force have taken a visible toll on the workforce, leaving many employees feeling jaded and worn down. - As the work program contracts, there is a growing tendency to simply do whatever sponsors request rather than providing the objective, independent guidance the company is known for. - The internal job market can be incredibly difficult to navigate. If you do not have a strong personal network within the company, finding billable work can feel almost impossible. - The cultural environment is not uniform. Your overall job satisfaction will vary dramatically depending on the specific division or group you land in.
