Pros

Fully Remote Position Good Manager Decent Salary when I began Good Focus on work/life balance Very low health insurance premiums

Cons

Lack of annual merit increases. Postponed 2 years in a row. Less than 1% despite solid rating. Likely need to job hop in order to attain meaningful growth in salary and career. 4.5% 401K match on your 6% contribution

Pros

They were really supportive during pandemic. Our pay cut was returned to us. CEOs and executive management had the highest pay cuts.

Cons

Client opportunities were lost (even before pandemic) due to low offers even to client-selected CRAs
