Pros

- Excellent CoWorkers - Good Middle Managers - Pay is good not excellent - Bus Fare/Parking paid for by company - Benefit package is on the good side - World class projects and clients - Location

Cons

- Location - On-Site for most projects, downtown commute sucks - Project volatility during design phase - The sea of cubicles on most floors looks like something out of the 80s/90s and the kitchenettes are kinda sad (great place to improve to attract younger folks) - Formal career progression and counseling is there but hardly used. Promos seem to be highly subjective. and based mainly on perception. - Tech stack is a mixed bag. The org needs to better manage their technology offerings to employees and update business processes to match tech transformations otherwise they throw a lot of $ at tech w little change management.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
