Pros

Great mentorship, great career development such as trainings, certifications, education reimbursement. It is a good place to expand your skills and managers will step in and help you understand how to navigate tricky situations especially when clients are difficult.

Cons

Low pay. They tell potential hires about "the bench" and how you can still get bench pay when you're not billing at a client while they look for your next opportunity. Increasingly, they lay people off, sometimes after only a few days or right as you hit the bench. Often ask you to work beyond normal 8-5 contracting hours to contribute to the company after a full day of billable work or doing additional trainings on your own time (nights, weekends, using your own PTO). Quite often they paint a rosy picture during monthly internal updates, so you think you're on track for your full bonus payout and then when the year closes, they say other offices didn't make their numbers so our bonuses are lower.

Pros

There are great people to work with and a lot of talent

Cons

I don't know how they retain employees with their low pay scale, Easily 20-25K lower than market. NO BONUSES and MINIMAL yearly raise, if any. Last years yearly raise was less than 0.03%, more of a slap in the face than a reward for good work. There was an employee who was leaving at the pay grade lower than me, but they offered him a promotion and a match in pay to new roll (so ~20K more than I make) just to try and retain, yet not able to give yearly raises....
