Pros

Although its been a long process - in which (part of) management needed step-wise be convinced about the changes to be taken, the working model has changed from being strongly based on employee extended daytime office presence (micromanagement of daily task) to be based on real project targets and providing flexibility such as to allow for maximum work-life balance possibilities, while the project performances have increased.

Cons

The compensation and benefits are well balanced, but depending on the location the compensations are contained and do not grow as fast as on locations with greater turnover (world-wide management tunes the compensation policy), which means that, in order to grow compensation, it could be actually better to accept any job offer from other stakeholders, BUT similar worklife-balance and benefits will be the trade-off.

The Pittsburgh office ran really well with Remote work, now they're becoming Big Brother.

Pros

Nice location near downtown and Southside. Half the building has a view of the river. Benefits are competitive (medical, dental, vision). Free garage parking across the street.

Cons

The employee perks have continuously declined over time. They used to have a nice catered Christmas party that disappeared during the pandemic and never returned. They used to have a common sense policy for meals while traveling, but that was just replaced with limits for each meal that are inadequate if you are traveling to a major city. They are also starting to track how many days each person comes to the office and seem to value that more than the results produced by each person. The company also does not reward people for going above and beyond, such as working significant overtime, working night shift at site, etc.
