Pros

If you believe the meritocracy exists then you are fooling yourself. Bad actors are the standard in every department. Sexual assault is common and is constantly having to be covered up.

Cons

It is actually worse than described above. We sell hires on stories of a culture at Red Hat, but there has not been a culture here for a decade. The pay is also way below midpoint of market value.

Public sector is crumbling

Pros

Delivery consists of top-tier talent Lower-to-middle level management really try, but are limited by senior leadership Tons of better opportunities outside of the public sector consulting team if you're able to escape

Cons

Morale is at rock bottom. Tons of people very displeased and unable to clearly express their concerns without fear of recourse. Leadership is stuck in the past. Looking for an easy solution by making questionable hiring decisions externally.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work, maybe still pockets of positivity Flexibility to work from home Very, very smart coworkers

Cons

Management is starting to display bad behaviors based on pressure from the IBM acquisition. CYA and unnecessary paperwork are increasing at an alarming rate.
