Pros
As with most large tech consulting firms your experience will vary from project to project. Throughout my time with the company I was allowed to work remote for a period of time, which was a great perk, their benefits are nice (specifically their stock options), and on another project I was reimbursed all possible expenses you could think of. Only the benefits they supply are guaranteed. Every other perk could be taken away or never given in the first place. Many of their projects are also for interesting clients or on interesting things.
Cons
My experience with the company is subjective to the projects I worked on, but almost everyone I knew wasn’t satisfied with their experience. I have a long list of grievances over my 3+ year tenure. I worked for 2 years out of the Troy, AL office. They pay you less due to cost of living in the area and require you to live in the area for the first 2 years at the company. I was told that I would be granted the ability to work remotely full time after that time and that most people did anyways because no one wanted to live in Troy. I was fresh out of college and wanted to stay close to home so I took the offer hoping to eventually get remote approval. The Troy office is primarily a college grind house. They pay you less than market value and put you in jobs that no one else wants. Either horrifically mundane tasks like moving files or horrifically overworked tasks that require at times 80+ hour weeks. Fortunately I wasn’t put on either of these projects but almost everyone else in my hire group and that was hired after me was. I was the only person in the Troy office that worked on my project (everyone else worked remote) so I would go in for 8 hours a day and sit in a corner of the office by myself and twiddle my thumbs. The culture there is laughable at best with the only office events pay for only. It’s stale, corporate, and soul crushing. After putting in my 2 years I requested to work fully remote so I could move back home so I could be closer to my mother who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. At that time the company had changed its policy on working remote and refused to let me move even after explaining my mother needed my assistance after her diagnosis. I lied and said I had already signed a lease back home and they then reluctantly allowed me to move. I worked for a little under a year remotely and it was very pleasant. Until my project (which was based in Florida) was also told to end remote access for its employees. I was removed from the project due to being fully remote and told I had two weeks to find another project within the company or I would be let go. They do admittedly give you an HR representative to help you find an open position, but with no more remote options being offered if there are no open positions at your closest office center (which there weren’t) then you will be required to relocate. I was fortunate and there was an open position in my state, but I would be required to live in a hotel for the majority of the week and do work I was overqualified for. Needless to say I started looking for another job immediately. I had also not been given a cost of living or performance increase in the past 2 years (even after asking) so finding someone who would pay me significantly more was not hard at all. Overall this company made me feel like I was easily disposable and just cheap labor that was not necessary. If you’re looking for a position in the Birmingham, AL office they admittedly treat their employees better, but every other office I’ve heard the same thing. I’d advise you look elsewhere first.
