Pros

Good colleges, challenging projects, project diversity.

Cons

Very poor management communication forcing Chinese whispers. Shareholders come way above staff. Constant billability pressure or for the chop, no time or money allowed for training, pay-freeze across the board.. except the board who all got pay and bonus rises. Pay freeze continuing despite massive profits, again, staff sacrifice for shareholders.
