Pros
Career growth, comprehensive benefits, collaborative team members, approachable leadership.
Cons
Fast-paced, dynamic environment, but I don't see that as a con if you are adaptable and enjoy learning and growing in a high growth industry.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the culture, growth opportunities, benefits, and support from the team and leadership. And we agree - the fast-paced environment can be a great fit for those who love to learn and grow!
Great benefits, variety of job functions and service offerings
Excellent organizational and management structure
Highly intelligent and effective workforce
Cons
Competitive hiring process due to quality of talent the company attracts.
- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane.
- Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions.
- New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.
Cons
- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard.
- Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision.
- Limited structured professional development.
- Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves.
- Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
