Pros

Positive, respectful work environment relatively free of micro-management. Flexible hours and work-from-home options, with generous vacation time. For executives and consultants, opportunities for personal career development, promotion, and world travel are significant. Project managers may have opportunities for world travel to facilitate project delivery to large global clients. Upper management are approachable and communicative.

Cons

Offices are over-crowded, with lower-ranking employees sharing offices or in cube farms. Pay raises are non-existent for lower-echelon employees. Intense focus on short-term financial goals means boom and bust cycles of hiring, lay-offs, and frantic periods where no consultant gets a lunch break for weeks. Benefits package is decent but some basics like gym membership discount on health insurance (at gyms that actually exist in the area) is lacking.

Pros

Work from home gives flexibility, time off is good.

Cons

No raises ever, bonuses are not a motivator nor an indicator of the work you do. No one seems to know why you receive the bonus you do, it is just from a spreadsheet handed to your direct manager who apparently has no influence in the decision. Raises never happen and no one can answer if they are coming or not—you just never get one.
