Pros

Great office space and fun people. Good to work for a well known consulting firm with a nice reputation. Projects can be exciting depending on your client.

Cons

Stagnant. Standstill. There are some people who are promoted every year and others who wait 5 years to go up one-level. Definitely a game of favorites. You can get a great review every year but they'll tell you that you are doing as expected....so if you're a high performer be ready to hear that that's what they expect of you always. No bonus a few years in a row because the company isn't meeting their targets.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
