Pros

Multinational. Opportunity to move across different divisions

Cons

Micro management. Becoming too blue chip. You are only as goo as your last month and they have no respect for anyone unless they are in the top tier of billing. ALL about the money. Lots of infighting. Poor people management and development. Below average salaries.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
