Pros

- Decent Pay - Decent Managers

Cons

- You are just another number, if you are not billable to client. You are laid off. - Juniors end up becoming "paper pushers". - Incompetent Business Development team, have not won any job for the company in years. Yet, the BD team is promoted and sent to different locations around the world and the project teams (people who execute work get laid off)
