Business Outlook

Pros

Can't think of any. Never felt I was part of any company.

Cons

1. Working as consultant with Headstrong is the worst decision I have made. 2. Client's won't care for you and managers at Headstrong are the worst. There is no communication between consultants and management in Headstrong. 3. Work hours are very long and stressful. 4. If you are experienced then you have nothing to learn.
