Pros

- Great coworkers in the lower ranks - Easy to get a job here - Good benefits (but beware, the benefits that look too generous are probably intended to force people to stay because they are too expensive to pay back)

Cons

- People in the higher ranks are manipulative and either delusional or deceptive; this becomes increasingly clear the more time you spend here, but it does not necessarily become more clear who is malicious and who actually somehow believes what they're saying. - The HC/HR department is shockingly unprofessional and untrustworthy, doing everything from discussing personal candidate/employee information in the middle of the office to publicly undermining leaders of other departments (and so much more). - Sexism, sexual harassment, and other cultural problems run rampant and are ignored or barely acknowledged by managers and HC/HR even when it occurs in front of them or is reported to them. - The company uses bizarre hiring and firing practices that have little relation to skills needed on projects, employee performance, ability to manage new hires, keeping up employee morale, or common sense. And there's so much more that could be said, but there's not really any point, because the company as we know it is currently falling apart. The new regime change promises to wipe out much of the top ranks, and who knows how many people at the lower ranks will become collateral damage. And sadly, being engulfed by parent company FIS does not sound like much of an improvement over the current situation even for those who survive the culling.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
