Pros

-Managers respect work life balance and getting time off is never an issue if planned well -Encourages internal employee driven initiatives -It's "Collaborative Business Experience" is mostly true both within engagement teams and with clients

Cons

Performance management is inconsistent and poor. You tend to get promoted or receive better ratings if on a large project. Company has good expertise in project management, but non-IT business knowlege is very limited. Consequently, company is slow to pick up on new business trends/requirements such as Social Media or Social CRM. More and more, company seems to be getting only traditional vanilla IT projects with little innovation opportunity or challenge. Employee pool is average, very few folks from ivy league or top 20 universities. Utilization is the highest priority and consultants can be thrown to any project with no regard to career planning

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
