Pros

Fast paced environment to learn in for new hires and experienced hires have opportunity to train junior resources. The work here teaches individuals how to prioritize time against multiple projects and manage client expectations. Both junior and senior employees and work history diversity brings unique experience to project teams. A majority of your efforts here will be client facing, which will improve your PM and communication skills. If you follow the process defined by the company, you will be promoted quickly here.

Cons

It is difficult to completely roll-off a project, making time management tough when you start new projects. Management does not always have oversight into employee initiatives. If you have a problem or a concern, it will be up to you to raise the red flag and go directly to supervisors. Not all employees are onboard with the company value of 'Accountability', which makes you sometimes feel you become 100% accountable for entire project work streams. The company is still in its growing phase of being able to design and deliver quality software products. Promotion is difficult if you achieve the same results with a different process than what the company suggests to achieve project and team success.

Pros

Very prosperous company and people are supportive and friendly. I like it very much

Cons

It's a private firm so procedures or work schedules may not be well found. Not necessarily has to be cons though.

Pros

1. You are the jack of all trades because you learn & do EVERYTHING! You do Management Consulting, Tech Consulting, Support, Product Management, Business Development, Sales, Account Management, Coordinator roles, Project Management! 2. You definitely go up the chain quicker as a new hire out of college. 3. You are thrown into the fire!

Cons

1. You are too busy to be a master of anything. Why? Because you have too much on your plate that you won't be able to focus on something you like. 2. As you go up the ladder, you still retain your old work. 3. People are overworked. Some project managers decide that its not worth it to invest in a QA resource or a support member on a project and instead let the analysts/consultants do the work (even when some are not even qualified). Why do they do this? Because these project managers don't want their margins to look bad. Unfortunately they are pressured to GET IT DONE (exact words of a partner) regardless of how much a project is sold. 4. There's no energy anymore. People don't go to happy hours anymore. I guess they're not happy?
