Pros

Starting pay and benefits were great to start with. Originally offered 160 hours in PTO and then changed to FTO. Not unlimited but going above the original 160 hours within reason was permitted.

Cons

Annual raises are minimal. Company asks for annual self evaluation assessments, but does not take them into consideration for merit raises. Even getting a post graduate degree will not lead to a raise. FTO is now capped at 112 hours. Leave taken at the end of the year was counted towards the new years leave balance. Leadership has reassured that there is no such thing as a "balance" but there is. HR insists that the policy has not changed but clearly there have been some big changes. Astrion was a great company to start with, but after the merger with Axient things have been declining at a fast pace. Would not recommend to work here until recent changed are reversed.

Pros

This company pushes its FTO program as a major perk, but it’s nothing more than a marketing tactic. You’re expected to bill 1,880 hours, which makes true time off practically impossible. After you subtract mandatory meetings, admin work, and the reality of non‑billable tasks, you’re left with about 112 hours of actual usable time off for the entire year — far worse than a standard PTO plan. Even worse, the company penalizes you for using the tiny amount of time off you do have. Taking FTO is routinely held against employees during merit reviews, creating a culture where the “flexibility” they brag about is actually a trap. The message is clear: take time off and your raise disappears. If you’re considering joining, understand this upfront: the FTO program is not a benefit. It’s a way for the company to avoid tracking PTO while squeezing as many billable hours out of you as possible.

Cons

Local management is great to work with
