Pros

As far as corporate jobs go - a solid experience. With typical problems, but also reasonable opportunities for growth and career. Good onboarding. Reasonably organized systems. Good staffing and ability to rotate teams/projects internally. The company seems very motivated to protect its employees from project turnover, even at the expense of maintaining a large bench. Acceptable coding standards. Honest effort to deliver code of a certain quality, even if customers can't review the product directly. Generally a good place to start an IT career for women, foreigners and minorities.

Cons

Difficulties in maintaining quality of delivery and working conditions between engagements. Employees hired on the same day and working side by side can have completely different experiences within the company. Very poor HR department. Poorly organized T&D; most courses are aimed at entry-level employees, mid-level employees at best, relatively limited offering of instructor-led courses. If an employee is unlucky enough to be assigned to a project with a "difficult" work culture, they are most likely on their own.

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.
