Pros

Good place to start career with a solid company name to put on your resume also. In theory decent structure. Good young environment in office. Lot of good people. Lot of opportunities to learn. Alot of your co-workers want to help you. Work/life balance is pretty solid especially relative to other companies. Even if you get stuck with a tougher client its still really not too bad relative to other companies.

Cons

Alot of the organization is better in theory/on paper than the actual reality of it. Constant shuffling of hierarchy. Ceiling on how far you can rise in the company, the best employees I know all were gone within 2 years of joining. Everything comes down to avoiding the bench at all costs for any extended period of time even if they will disingenuously tell you "we really try to avoid at all costs laying off Grade A employees" or "it takes being on the bench for close to a year to be vulnerable to lay-offs". Alot of their problems stem from way overhiring a few years ago, not knowing what to do when the tech bubble burst, and they are still feeling the effects of that 18-24 months later.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
