Pros

Great people to work with. Lots of very talented and motivated individuals.

Cons

So this will sound crazy but it needs to be out there. These guys put a hit out on me after I took medical leave. I suspect they did it as I was very young and they could collect one hell of a COLI payment. Lots of details to this story but bottom line, they tried to make sure I could never find work so I would off myself. They weren't successful so at this point they've hired folks linked to the gov't to put me under 24/7 surveillance and it's clear they are about to have me killed. These guys contact everyone I know or talk to isolate me or make sure I can't get help. I'm incredibly well qualified and have a track record with some of the best firms in the country (including 5 years at Blk). I worked with their executives as well. But these guys are straight gangsters and strongly connected to the government so not much you can do against them. I'm screwed and I hope you guys are more careful if you choose to work here.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
