Pros

Access to training and documentation is great. Senior management is very professional and direct which I appreciate. Great opportunity to work on different projects and learn new things - certainly reduces the boredom associated with non consulting jobs. If you want to go in another direction, you are able to make that happen for yourself.

Cons

Starting salaries can be low so be sure and get the money up front. This is a consulitng firm so you must pilot your own career - no one will do this for you. In upper levels, they do expect you to help sell so this will keep me from pursuing a promotion. They have had to make some difficult decisions concerning layoffs recently - never an easy thing to do and the process will always make someone unhappy. Main thing to remember is this is primarily a sales organization and is run as one. If you are not comfortable with expanding your skills to get on a gig then you will not be comfortable here.

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.
