Pros
-Happy hour events are fun -Some coworkers are really fun to hang out with -Not much else, really
Cons
-I guess anyone with positive remarks of this company must have not worked at a legitimate job before... so they don't know how a truly 'good' job can be intellectually interesting, challenging, high-paying, with good skill-set growth opportunities... none of which applies to this job even remotely -I left this company a while ago, but recently learned that my friend who used to work here got laid off since he was on bench (unstaffed) for months, where the company wasn't able to find enough projects for its resources. Following this, I feel obliged to warn people considering joining this firm (or any other 'consulting' gig like this) with sobering facts that I've witnessed -During my stint, I witnessed DOZENS of such lay offs as described above within just one fiscal year -If you are on functional team ('Business Analyst', 'Consultant', whatever), only skills you are building is Microsoft Word (how to write documents) and front-end Microsoft technologies (AX, CRM, SharePoint, etc). Most projects are IT implementation body-augmentation projects where the most interesting work you could ever hope to do is to talk to clients and write down their notes. If not, you are stuck for months on 'testing' the system, doing garbage work such as writing test scripts, etc. I would be surprised if anyone thinks such tasks are either interesting, or if anyone actually believes such job experiences helps your career from skill-set standpoint -Mediocre coworkers in terms of talent. I've met many people here who couldn't do 6th grade-level algebra. Now that I think about it, you probably don't need much intellect nor skills to do the job at this company, at least on the functional side... -Very little skill development: if you go up to a manager-level employee on the functional side, and ask him/ her to do a simple task in Excel or SQL, chances are overwhelming that they probably couldn't do a thing. Actually, most likely, they probably don't even know what 'Pivot Table' is or 'Left Join' implies, which testifies to the lack of skill-set growth on jobs like these. -This job, in most cases, leads to a dead-end career. If you are happy to do mindless IT implementation work for the rest of your life doing tasks like testing, documentation, or what not, this is the job for you. If you actually want a job where you can expect to do some type of data analysis, or where using your brain is not frowned upon, don't even consider taking this job. (or other 'consulting' gigs like this one - Pure IT staff augmentation gigs) -Overall, this job gets a terrible review from me (and a lot of people I knew at the firm shared the sentiments above) due to: lack of job security, lack of interesting work, lack of project work, lack of skill-set growth, extremely political working environment, and lack of 'normal' working conditions (you need to travel to random places weekly for this gig) -One last remark. One time a coworker that used to be on the same project as me doing 2 months of 'testing' the system asked me why I looked so depressed. My reply: "This job sucks"
