Pros

Vacation time- 4 weeks total including a mandatory 2 week vacation Overall company culture is great including the emphasis on volunteer work Great CEO

Cons

It's an absolute shame that employees that help your firm make money is paid severely below market value. In addition, upper management seems to look down upon the Baltimore office ( a very A team/B team mentality at play). Upper management does not seem to care about employees' career paths- they'll ask you because they're supposed to but mine have never acted upon the things I mentioned in those meetings. If you are interested in coming here- do your best in your given role, learn as much as you can, and leave for another company that will pay you correctly and support you as an employee.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
