Pros

Great training program, good resources, Excellent work life balance. A college graduate, or miltary personel will thrive in the environment. Controlled envrinonment helps keeps people focused but does not allow for much creative thinking. Excellent company during these down time for stability. Compensation is competative. Encourages training and continued education. Looks great on your resume, as the company is highly recogonizable. Great opportunity to hone in on imporving presentation and writing skills. Encourages sharing of ideas between organizations. Corporate office in good location close to public transportation and mall. Excellent demographics and diversity of employees. Onsite child care and gym

Cons

Thinking outside of the box is not encouraged. Senior Leadership lack sleadership skills, no opportunity to get to know team members... if it is not billable no time for it. Too stuffy. Controlled envrinonment helps keeps people focused but does not allow for much creative thinking. Annual Assessments are not opportunities for growth but just going through the motions. For such a large company benifits are expensive. No opportunity for team meetings ( NOT BILLABLE). NO real communication within teams. No sense of direction from manager. Too concerned with where you went to school and degree than quality and ability of work.

Pros

It's a large company with many projects and different opportunities that you can work on. There are perks like the parties and picnics and team events. Each year after your first you get 10% of your take home salary put into tor 401k from Booz. Depending on your client and project manager, it is usually easy to do things like work from home and have flexible hours.

Cons

More than once I have seen people getting promoted that don't deserve the promotion. It is like the managers give promotions in order to have people below them getting promoted and this helps the managers career. More than once I have been told I would be working on one project and then actually been put on a totally different project. Management hasn't been honest with length of time going to be spent at client site, keeping me there longer than originally planned. Also, I am pretty sure there are people on my team that were hired strictly based on their looks.
