Pros

Don't let a lot of the positive reviews fool you. They are constantly required or bothering everyone to write these.

The people are great, and some of the work was challenging, and I learned so much. The work-life balance is actually top-notch.

The culture used to be employee-focused. Benefits used to be the best in the valley; now, we follow what others have been doing. Definitely preps you for working elsewhere.

Cons

Like any job, you have to play the politics game.

Salaries aren't competitive anymore.

Internal promoting has fallen.

Culture is slowly going away.

Constant reorganizing makes me think that the company doesn't have a vision.

Severe lack of recognition, so much that many seniors have left for a reason.

Not as much innovation as when under Parsons.

There's a reason the stock hasn't taken off.

Only follows any Silicon Valley trends instead of doing our own thing.

Quite a few dead-end teams.

Many jobs moving to Seattle or SF instead of in PHX.

Suffers from too many chiefs and too little braves.

Turning in my 2 weeks soon.

Advice to Management

More recognition. Less "yes men." More allowances for furthering career learning.
