Pros

I was able to negotiate my salary beyond the offer and got the range I was seeking. Easy, but mundane job.

Cons

Atrocious support from leadership. Almost nonexistent. My manager was a well-meaning person but was constantly overloaded and didn't have any time to train me, and I was an entry level APM. Total sink or swim culture. Only the white employees here get the promotions or have any future with the company. Employees of color, what little of them is there, are given menial tasks and always destined to plateau in their careers.

Pros

-Great peers to work with. Thats where you learn everything.

Cons

-No one has any idea what they are doing. I genuinely have no idea how they are still in business. -There are no SOPs for anything. All guideline and processes are in a teams chat. Again, teams chats run a business. -All decisions are based on feelings and not data -They treat our contractors like dogs s*** and backcharge them for anything that is our fault to avoid us paying. -They let clients run all over everyone, even when the clients' requests go directly against our contract. -Senior managment care about fake metrics like proposals. It doesnt matter how much business is generated as long as you have proposals. So $1mil in proposals with $0 in generated revenue makes you a top contributor. -Nice people but they will stab you in the back when you are not looking
