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.

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.
