- Ample professional development opportunities.
- Career Manager (essentially a mentor assigned to each employee) is a great resource for career advisement.
- The firm provides resources for finding your next billable position if your contract falls through (resources include opportunities for training, internal networking, and resume assistance).
Cons
Bear in mind, like most contracting and consulting firms, your experience can be dependent upon your management and leadership. If you interview, remember you’re interviewing the hiring managers as much as they’re interviewing you — try to get a good pulse on the team you’re interviewing to join.

Pros
Benefits, pay, and flexibility (depending on who you work for) was excellent.
Cons
Raises were never consistent in the past ten years if you received one. In some instances, promotions were on hold, but select individuals received them secretly.
The blatant racial divide in all roles is still the same.
The handling of the voluntary separation packages was shameful.
The Q&A facts changed daily because of the rushed process to expedite the Oreo project which was originally supposed to look at addressing workload, raises, and promotion.
The firm said they would not make up positions for EAs to roll into. That was false. It took place for at least two white female employees.
