Pros

Some very good people Work life balance is generally good for the industry

Cons

Some very awful people and a very poor past recruitment strategy has meant that many cannot be resourced Sales to delivery model is broken, far too many sales people who don't understand the clients or the business and should be selling second-hand BMWs Previous growth based on projects that are now failing or shrinking - no long term strategy or mature thinking Vacuum at executive level - there is virtually no-one worth looking up to, and leadership is nonexistent. The good ones are now leaving, or are being pushed to breaking point. Sycophants seem to flourish at the expense of people who work hard and deliver The good people are demotivated and leaving in droves - promotions are now being given to those who don't deserve them purely so that they don't leave

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
