Pros

They pay well, supply you with all the equipment you need to do the job and have a decent infrastructure for developing.

Cons

Hostile work environment due to the following reasons: Expected to work 60+ hours a week. Belittling communication styles and lack of communication from peers / team leads. (Literally being yelled at when doing something wrong and rarely receiving an explanation for correction / individual development.) Empty promises of bonuses and assistance / training from peers / team leads. Crude pranks, some of which could have lead to a lawsuits. Disorganized processes for developing. Lack of cooperation with teams, all using different tools / styles making cross developing / hand-offs on projects a mess. Lack of cooperation within teams, every person has their own style (no style guide) of developing offering no consistency with any of the projects. In my opinion I did not understand how this was not a bigger issue because without consistency this company offered very little QoS and it showed. I wish I could rate Erika and Brian separately.

Thank you for your feedback. As you know, we have spent much of the past year analyzing and improving our development methodologies to support our growth, provide a first rate customer experience, and make life easier for our team (NO ONE at Beyond20 is expected to work 60+ hours per week - period). While we never claim to get things right 100% of the time, it is fair to say that when something is not working we do try to "fail quickly" rather than continuing to try to force something that does not work. We are sorry that things did not work out for you here. We did not take this decision lightly and worked diligently to try and make things work out. We wish you the best in your next endeavor.

Pros

They have a great group of people to work with. The company also generally keeps employees informed on what the sales pipeline is looking like.

Cons

The standard cons of most consulting firms. Things like project churn and juggling multiple projects and go live dates.

Pros

The company is quick to conduct interviews and complete onboarding. They are very transparent about what is needed from you. And most of all, the Site-Lead is fantastic. She is swift to want to help you with career progression and ensure that the people are taken care of.

Cons

Pay is low (while it is entry level) there could be a bump in that.
