There is a system where employees can recognize each other and give a shout out in Teams at any time. You can earn rewards and swag based on that system. People in different departments worked well together. Not very much red tape at all. Upper management was accessible if needed. They did a good job of implementing consistent surveys to gauge employee feelings about a variety of issues and would report metrics in a monthly company meeting. I feel like they really did remote work well. No “dead weight”, everyone is super talented.

Even though they have been around a while, expect consistent change. On some teams, they don’t disclose how you’ll be measured and don’t disclose the questions they ask clients to get feedback on your performance. They make it up as they go, switch who reviews you with no notice. Make up goals close to a review. Some lower level managers will micromanage you and upper management will put up with atrocious soft skills as long as people are billing enough hours. Expect tons of unpaid overtime to keep up. Nepotism galore! My manager literally admitted to not wanting older workers on the team when going through resumes.
