Pros

Good people at the staff level Company events are nice, but over the top in comparison with day-to-day culture Some groups are doing interesting work

Cons

Staff augmentation focused, contracting firm calling itself a consulting organization After a deal is sold, "consultants" are left without support Difficult clients are retained at the expense of "consultants" Leaders are not invested in the technologies they represent Chain of leadership has conflicting priorities Communication is confusing to staffed "consultant", client, and team Very much a clique culture Variable pay model is pushed, but bench time makes it a bad deal for "consultants" Mediocre benefits Managers focused on staffing, not growing the business A contracting company would be a better choice

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
