      Pros

      Overall good work environment. I found the pay and benefits were good. My coworkers were great and had good collaboration with those in the UK.

      Cons

      Major changes in the company. Need to find a better direction. Not enough communication when things aren't going well. Recent layoffs.

      Great learning opportunities for those who can manage their own career direction.

      Pros

      Great learning and training opportunities for those who are capable of managing their own careers. With enough initiative, there are plenty of options to move between different roles or work within different client groups if one wishes to widen their experiences - however one must be proactive to take advantage of this. The people make it - many senior managers who are genuine, friendly and willing to support younger consultants, although changing a little as more of the 'old-guard' are moving on as the company expands.

      Cons

      Despite operationally being a little removed from the parent company, one must be comfortable being on the payroll of an arms manufacturer. Some junior consultants who are yet to work out their career path have difficulty finding their place in the workforce without suitable mentors to guide them, although I hear that the new graduate schemes are doing more to improve that.

      Pros

      Flexi time Good team connection Fun projects in the R&D department

      Cons

      A lot of rules to follow to get things done. Quite often the easy solution/cheapest and most innovative is blocked from higher up.
