Keeping Billable

Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay.

Cons

It's a billable model corporation. Employees have a billable goal (quota) in the department I'm in. The worklife/balance ...... deadlines are the priority. They will ask if you can work major holidays; Xmas Eve, Thanksgiving if necessary to get a deliverable out the door. OT is expected. You might have flexible hours, but there's a price to pay for that flexibility, because you will be working a lot of OT when the workload picks up. It's not a 9 to 5 job. But when workload dies down, then you are stressed because you have no work and your billable goal or quota suffers, and they do not like that. I've seen a lot of staff over the years get laid off because their workload died down, even though workload was out of their control. The culture/env in the office I am at is almost a negative. Employees are too busy working on deadlines to even have time to visit/chat with coworkers. Putting Admin time on your timesheet is frowned upon. They goal is to bill every hour of the day to the client.

Pros

Great people who are passionate about what they do.

Cons

Management does not always invest in junior staff, as a result, turnover is high. Also it depends on which team you are on!
