Pros
--smooth and informative on-boarding process
--quick responses from everyone on the team I've contacted
--a culture that honestly values learning, collaboration, and best practices
--Being an apprentice (part of the diversity apprenticeship program) has given me the chance to see and learn about tech environments in several different companies, which provides interesting and useful new perspectives. The best part, though, is having the opportunity to work with excellent, encouraging senior developers who truly care about crafting quality software and teaching best practices.
Kontras
--As Cyrus is a consultancy and it's rare that developers are actually in/working from the main office, I imagine that it could sometimes feel isolating to work mainly apart from other Cyrusites. However, this hasn't been my experience at all as an apprentice, and Cyrus does a lot to facilitate collaboration among the team (such as monthly team days and weekly video conferences, as well as a mentorship program).
