Pros

Collaborative culture and amicable teams.

Cons

CF is happy to take advantage of the turbulence in the wider tech sector by hiring experienced candidates into junior positions and billing them out to customers at the same day rate as seniors. Despite 100% changeability, consultants are also scheduled into client meetings, team calls and required to submit QA revisions whilst on other engagements - eating into already frequently underscoped project time. The promised $5k training budget (per consultant) had seemly moved to approval-only despite being written into the contract.
