Pros

-Pockets of extremely knowledgeable folks. -Services the full gamut of IT which can provide diverse learning opportunities, especially for those who are starting their career. -Industry average pay with unparalleled PTO (4-6 weeks).

Cons

-Horrible work/life balance. Due to disjointed strategies, low profitability, and fewer and fewer resources, SAs and consultants are overcommitted and often brought into projects that are unrelated to their territory, job description, and pay. -Tons of middle management with elastic, vague job descriptions that seem more focused on justifying their position than in really contributing or providing value. -Intense politicking and posturing. -"Pass the buck" mentality. -Too much "taxation" on sales reps. Being an AM here is like buying a franchise. -Too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to services - 6 different project managers or consultants on a project leads to a high hourly rate. -Processes are extremely cumbersome - every movement requires 8 steps and 5 people. -Insane non-compete.

Pros

They provide great bagels every Tuesday morning. The ESOP has performed well if you are willing to stick around long enough to vest.

Cons

The new philosophy is "managers who do not work". They brought in a whole new management team from outside who is not familiar with the systems or operations of the company. These managers are actively told that they do not need to know how things are done. Their only responsibility is task management. Therefore, they have no idea how to accomplish the goals that they set for the team and don't understand why they can't always be met. Whenever something does not go as planned, which happens almost every time, instead of trying to find a solution, they look for somebody to blame.

Pros

There are some very intelligent and talented people at Forsythe, unfortunately most of them do not work in the IT Department for the company itself. The consultants who actually work for outside customers are good.

Cons

The management I worked for treated people like dirt. They played employees against each other and set people up to fail. Don't disagree with a manager or they will find a way to get rid of you. I considered it to be a hostile workplace so if that concerns you stay away.
