Pros

I've met some really awesome hard working tech heads

Cons

Your experience will vary by group/contract, I know someone very close to me that has a very different experience at CG. It's the luck of the draw. as for me... There is ZERO work/home life balance. I get called any time of the day or night whether or not I'm oncall, and have been reprimanded for not taking my work computer on vacation or when taking comp time after working 70 hours in a week (which a manager told me to take). Managers have zero respect for your personal time and will throw you under the bus to save their own skins. Management and PMT are both horribly disorganized and incompetent. Customers run roughshod over management with demands because of the pressure to keep accounts at all costs. The people who signed off on the contract I work on should all be fired. When I learned of the punitive clauses my jaw hit the floor. I had NEVER heard of a contract with such completely impossible metrics and such wide jagged teeth. In the contract I work for, there's about three dozen people, and I cannot think of a single non-management employee who isn't actively looking for a new job desperate to get away from the life sucking ordeal.

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.
