Pros

1. The people I've worked with are relatively nice 2. Good opportunity to learn 3. Ok work-life balance if you are not a pushover

Cons

1. No salary increase at all 2. People without visa issues who are good tend to leave when they get enough experience ASAP 3. You end up with less experienced SRT resources + consultants + project managers random combo on projects because you cannot pick your team, and then you constantly end up with people who dump work on you because of your ability as a mid-management level consultant-but you are also expected to do the work of PM + Consulting-all at no additional pay 4. A lot of politics and favoritism and no clear path to promotion for good experienced consultants 5. Sales keep on messing up solutioning then the functional team has to take the blame

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
