Pros

Compensation and benefits are quite reasonable.

Cons

Many false promises were made during the interview phase. From education and career development to the types of projects one would be working on. Working here honestly feels like are just another employee number - I doubt most people even know each other's names. During my interview I was promised lots of career development and education opportunity. What this turned out to be was forced "educational hour" that must be completed each year in order to qualify for a raise. You get to pick from an online library that has courses of little value. As they also want me to be 100% billable to the client I was told the forced 25 hours must be completed on my own time. You are also partnered with a career advisor that is supposed to help you plan goals and achieve some growth in the company. These goals also determine if you get a raise. Well, in one year I have seen my CA one time and I was the one who had to reach out and start the process. Again, a failed promise that was never delivered. Overall, it feels like I am just a number that needs to remain billable. Nothing that was promised in my interview ever came to fruition.

Pros

The company is rising the ranks as they are combining all of their internal business teams and processes as well as they are capable of.

Cons

You are a number. The family dedication of 'doing whatever it takes to get the job done' is gone, as new management has come in and made everything a calculation. They have slashed every US job they can, and if you're in the EU and your role can be sent to India, you are next. If your individual math doesn't add up for longer than 2 weeks, you'll be on your way out. If you are on vacation, you are also questioned about that math not adding up. Just added a bench process to get everyone infighting for roles they aren't appropriate for and dragging out their personal needs. A select few are exempt, even though the bench process isn't fully working or completely understood. Reporting structures are all in flux and everyone is 3 months into the year without identified goals or team reporting set for the year.
