Pros

Job security at job sites. If a project gets cut, you get moved around, which is great for experience in multiple types of projects. Good benefits Good pay/raise structure Managers are friendly and helpful Great company culture Team outings (COVID contingent, of course) Great career opportunity Non-toxic work environment

Cons

Hiring process was rushed, kind of made me suspect of the opportunity initially. Onboarding was a bit of a mess at the client site, but everything worked out in the end. PTO policy is not the best: Only about 10 days off a year, and they aren't even banked at the start of the year, so you have to slowly accrue them (3 hours per 2 weeks). PTO policy is not very competitive with similar paying jobs in the IT sector, especially considering a lot of companies are giving unlimited PTO nowadays as long as you get your job done. That being said, you do get 6 sick days, 40 hours of jury duty paid, and 2 hours to go vote each year, so its definitely not the worst.

Pros

The company is already shifting from services to products and platforms business, with the CEO driving the change directly. This transition is visible and is steep. The upside to this transformation is the company already creating meaningful opportunities for people to grow new skills and take on more strategic and value-added work. The key is to lean in and make full use of the resources available, including client universities, hack-a-thons, ideathons, and skill transformation programs, to stay ahead. For internal talent, the opportunities in product, platform development, and consulting are abundant, across both existing offerings and new solutions.

Cons

the organization is going through a painful transition unlike anything it has experienced in its 26-year history; while this change is necessary to win in the market, stronger support through the transition is an area where the company can improve and focus.

Thank you for such a thoughtful perspective. It’s encouraging to hear that the shift toward a product and platform-led organization is visible and creating meaningful opportunities for our USsociates to build new skills and take on more strategic work. Enabling this kind of growth is a key priority for us, and we’re glad to see the impact of initiatives like learning programs, ideathons, and hackathons coming through. We also recognize that transitions can be challenging, and providing support through the journey remains a priority. Your point on staying grounded in UST’s values truly resonates. Our values of humanity, humility and integrity continue to guide us as we evolve. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
