Pros

High quality people. Solve hard problems. Good charitable mission.

Cons

What matters most is the bottomline. Little tolerance for non-billable work. No clear path for advancement outside of Columbus. Quick to layoff un-billable staff. Admin organizations in the company operate independently of those they serve. Inefficient matrix management. Some of those who own the work do not work well with resource managers. They don't communicate and they lead their projects using fear and threats of losing work to "keep people in check."
