It's decent
Pros: * Good work/life balance (work 40 hours a week, period); this probably depends on your team
* Great videoconferencing; companies using Slack are cavemen by comparison
* Clear separation of responsibilities
* Interesting projects
Cons: * Lower compensation compared to other large firms
* Open floor plan; I can hear people from 3 rows of cubicles when attending technical meetings
* They are ridiculous about expenses. Example: mandatory trainings have a video component but my workstation has no sound. I've learned to read lips because to get headsets I would probably need approval from 4 managers (no joke)
* Takes 1 FULL YEAR before they match anything to your 401k (ridiculous)
* Healthcare plans are very expensive
* Career mobility is highly praised internally esp. by higher-ups but anyone trying to figure out how to get in on it realizes it's a cluster****
