Pros

You'll get access to some amazing technology, work in high energy environments, and see projects from start to completion.

Cons

The company is moving to multi-skilling, requiring the employees who generate the most revenue to take on more responsibilities and tasks, while management will continue on its own straight line path of protecting its bottom line. Given the high degree of complexity the job requires and the way accountability is applied when mistakes occur, specialization is essential to achieving client objectives and to minimizing risk of failure.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
