Pros

The pay rate was excellent.

Cons

Micromanaging and nitpicking, finding a flaw no matter what was done. It was a very toxic environment.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, company does a good job sharing work between regions.

Cons

Overemphasis on utilization and being billable. 3 yrs vesting period for company paid 401k matching contributions where half of the match contributions are in company stock that you can’t sell to put into your actual 401k account. And those match contributions are only distributed once a year so you don’t get the advantage of compound interest on the matching contributions.
