Pros

I enjoyed my career there because of the people. The last few years were a challenge with layoffs and overall uncertainty due to heavy focus on the retail sector which impacted performance. The department I reported into was highly organized and transparent. This varies from group to group. There was many opportunities for professional learning and development.

Cons

Layoffs Silos at times with groups and competing objectives Limitations on headcount severely overloading team members Overly focused on timesheets vs practicality of group functions and difficulty tracking by client
