Seriously, don't work here

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You'll get to work with a well respected client, but at what cost..

Cons

Excessive hours that often extend past your 8-5 (8-5...ha!). Early mornings and late nights are the norm more than the exception. Want to take a vacation, plan some family time, or just take a day off? Good luck, and be prepared to gain approval from your manager, each project manager, and the client. There is no culture. Many people are obviously bitter, unhappy, and stuck in a rut. San Jose office space has potential. The SLO office is horrible though. They work in a box that has gray walls. There are no windows. This will never change due to the client mandate.
