Pros

Family owned company so they are open to hiring people who don't have much experience in the web development field (at least for account management and project management) assuming they are capable and have a good attitude. There is a wide variety of projects, a lot of experienced gained, and given the size of the company (<200) it's relatively easy to be noticed for good work. I would only recommend it if someone is desperate for a job, and for experience, and I would tell them to move elsewhere as quickly as possible. Nearby restaurants and town are really great for lunch break.

Cons

The project load is unsustainable and impossible to keep up with given the complexity of sites and time required to learn the CMS etc (although some divisions have more complicated sites than others). Compared to other companies the project load is 3x more and projects are generally very rushed and past the due date which makes for strained client relations. Deadlines are promised without any realistic estimation of projects in the pipeline. Management is approachable but not accessible due to how busy they are with their own projects. Resource management estimates are a black hole and impossible to estimate accuratelyLong hours, pay is really low, office space is depressing. The computer and resources provided are old and slow. People are generally unhappy. Also they seem to have a cheap labor model, wherein they hire most people out of college with little experience, so the blind are leading the blind in a lot of ways. Any improvements regarding management and mentoring of younger employees seems to be wishful thinking as it take years to transition to the reorganization they've promised.

Pros

Could be a good stepping stone if you're early in your career

Cons

Stop positioning this as a people-first company when everything clearly revolves around billable hours. If you want better work, stronger client relationships, and any kind of retention, you have to move beyond utilization being the only thing that matters. Right now, it drives every decision, and it shows. Give managers real authority. It makes no sense that decisions about people’s performance or employment are being made by leadership who are not involved in their day-to-day work. Either trust your managers to lead their teams or stop putting them in positions where they have no actual say. The constant push to “just bill a little more” or "bill an extra 15 min a day" completely misses the point. The issue is not that employees are not working hard enough. The issue is that the system is built in a way that prioritizes hours over impact. Suggesting that the solution is simply to work more is exactly why burnout continues to be a problem. If growth and development actually matter, then stop making them work against employees. Right now, any time spent on training or improving skills hurts utilization, which sends a very clear message that development is not truly valued. And most importantly, stop dismissing feedback. Labeling concerns as a generational issue or implying people should just be grateful to be here shuts down any chance of real improvement. These are not new complaints. The same themes have come up for years, and they continue to be ignored. At some point, there needs to be a decision to either acknowledge the reality and make meaningful changes, or continue with the same approach and accept the ongoing turnover and low morale. Right now, it feels like the latter.
