Pros

The people are wonderful. Many amazing people doing awesome work. I have found some incredibly wonderful individuals that work there and will cherish the many years I was a part of their teams.

Cons

Territorial and vindictive. Watch out for the toes you unknowingly step on, especially if they have been there for 10 or more years. Your new role may be stepping into a closely held space by them and they may not like you being there. They will push you out. Some of the teams say they want leaders but really want a more autocratic style rather than servant leadership. Be prepared to be the "throat to choke" no matter if if did all you could.

The leadership team is aware of these concerns and is proactively working to address any behaviors or attitudes that are not in line with our values. Our CEO has been clear that anything that is good for SoftServe is good for all who work here, and there should be no cases of territorialism.

Pros

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Cons

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
