Terrible Company

Pros

Work from home, I guess.

Cons

Before considering employment with this company ask yourself (or your interviewer) the following : What is the company’s turnover rate? (hint: it’s over 40%) Why would a company have such a high turnover rate? (Answer: Poor management and unrealistic expectations of employees. This company performs layoffs on at least a quarterly basis.) What unrealistic expectations? (Answer: Your working life will revolve around meeting minimum billable hours. Unfortunately, project management is so inept that you will spend weeks working on client projects that have run out of billable hours.) Which is worse? Planned overtime in order to meet project milestones, or immediate unexpected overtime due to poor planning? (Answer: It doesn’t matter, you’ll get both.) Overtime? (Answer: Note you will be an exempt employee and not entitled to overtime pay, nor unused PTO pay. After my lead told me I would be compensated for overtime and encouraged me to ask upper management, I was told that I would receive my overtime as a “bonus” at the end of the year, and then I was laid off. I never was compensated. ) What about the people? (Answer: While you might have some decent coworkers, most people are burnt out and busy putting out their own fires. Meetings involving the Engineering team will turn into a d**k measuring contest, that no one wins. The owner is an arrogant bully).

Poor work/life balance and management

Business outlook

Pros

-100% remote with no "required" office hours -excellent processes & systems -mostly great clients -good coworkers

Cons

-culture of keeping to yourself and level of "professionalism" between coworkers actually just felt cold and uneasy -while management of timelines and processes was excellent, management of humans was bad enough to prophylactically up your anxiety meds -long hours and a difficult-to-maintain expectation on billable hours -shifting or unclear expectations - often seemed based in an "I'll know it when I see it" approach -FAVORITISM
