Pros

They paid you something I guess?

Cons

-the whole CDA CS structure and partnership is a joke. They treat you like second class citizens, and your managers will never have your back -they ask you to work late nights several times during the week while keeping your pay at an hourly rate. I know plenty of consultants who are salaried and expected to work until the task or project is done. But they are paid far greater. -fake care for DEI. They do not care about diversity, equity and inclusion. Only making themselves look like the do. Don’t let the BLM or rainbow logo confuse you. They don’t care

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
