Pros
They do have a decent bootcamp training to get you up to speed with the platform. The immediate people you work with. Great bunch of highly intelligent, knowledgeable and dedicated individuals who’s talent is being squandered. A decent free gym in the same building with shower facilities and free classes. Next to Tyson’s corner mall.
Kontras
I’d be skeptical of ALL recent positive reviews, I highly doubt they’re real/authentic and more of a marketing counter strategy to the actual honest reviews making the real truth come out. You think you’ll be rewarded for going that extra mile and putting MANY hours of overtime for a given project? Think again, you’ll just be reassigned and your credit for the previous project will be discarded. Adverse situations outside of your control WILL hurt you. Let’s say your manager changed three times within the course of a year to a year and a half. Come your annual review, the latest manager will NOT acknowledge all your work from previous years leading up to a much deserved promotion. Isn’t that a gem? Wipe the slate clean, throw all of your blood, sweat and tears for years out the door! So you see senior management get promoted and their titles change more than once within a business year. You think to yourself, hey, I’ll work my butt off to achieve that, nope, sorry no budget for you and in spite of performing above and beyond, it’s still not enough to qualify! Be prepared to be underpaid compared to industry standards. The irony is that if you applied for your same job as an external applicant you’d make more money and when asking to be compensated accordingly in terms of salary adjustment, you’ll always be given the runaround that you’re within the proper payment bracket. Fancy way of dodging the bullet. You CAN and WILL be screwed out of your bonus and promotions MULTIPLE times with claims such as ‘there’s no budget’ or ‘next quarter’ an then they turnaround and hire ten new people or say there was an outstanding quarter/year but never fulfill the bonus/promotion promises. Like a horse with a dangling carrot. Once? Twice? nope, it kept on happening over the years, UNACCEPTABLE! No wonder the company’s KEY talent that is the foundation of it’s success keeps going for exodus. Oh! Pray you never have a serious personal/family emergency in nearly 10 years and the first/only time you DO have to take time off because of it because it WILL be held against you and be told verbatim ‘it doesn’t matter why, you haven’t been here’. Support from your manger when a family member is critically ill to the point you break down in front of them? Forget it! They’ll literally turn their head away from you and prompt you to stop bothering them.
