Bad management, poor pay, awful business plan

Pros

Co-workers were great, location made for an easy commute

Cons

Management thought the best way to handle a downturn in business was to throw money at every problem. They hired people at exorbitant salaries expecting business to magically follow, and inevitably after 6 months, those same people would leave for a better company after having spent that time wasting everyone's time and money. After they merged with SMART the problem just got worse. Management was petty and disorganized, the corporate office was completely unreachable (though that may have been because they knew we were all going down in flames anyway).

Pros

Lots of freedom and responsibility quite early on regardless of level and experience. Complex and challenging client problems on every project - SMD's do a good job of pushing team members to develop the solutions and present directly to the client. Very much a merit based culture and "work hard play hard" attitude amongst teams. Practice leaders understand what it takes to grow the business and are willing to invest in new service offerings and in team member development

Cons

Compensation appears fair and at market level but is not a transparent process Experience and culture can vary significantly by practice and office - not enough consistency globally.
