Not bad, but pay is low for hours you’re expected to do
Pros: - Network, Travel, good career start
- As a techie, I get to take ownership
- Benefits
Cons: Non-competitive salary: In tech others pay up to $10k-$20k more for the same level of experience. Within the firm the salaries vary for the same positions also. No transparency around salaries whatsoever, favoritism feels like the norm. I’ve learned lots here but also feel like I have de-valued myself

Not a tech firm: as a techie you need to often put your foot down and convince clients that what you’re proposing is the optimal solution. They don’t always listen, even though they hire you for your expertise.

Travel: can become too much, extra stress and time you don’t get paid for, like when a flight gets canceled and you’re stuck at the airport for a few hours

Work/Life balance: discouraged, feels like some management expects you not to have a life outside your job. work on weekends and long hours are the norm. On most projects being peer pressured into working unpaid overtime is expected
