Pros

Large diversity in project scopes and disciplines. Great benefits and company stock matching. I was lucky enough to have fair and successful work sharing across various offices. Large potential for climbing the corporate ladder, but at what cost?

Cons

All that matters is that your timesheet is entered on Friday's and that you maintain high utilization or the hammer comes down. Profit center structure encourages competition of the wrong kind, within the company. Too much personnel turnover. Entire company vision seems to be achieved through acquisitions and less organic growth. This lends to the high turnover rate. Top heavy, too much management and not enough production staff. I felt under-valued for the type of work completed.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
