Pros

The company is largely "virtual". Most employees work from home offices. Most of their technical staff is very knowledgeable. They are definite leaders among consulting companies that work with the SAP BPC product.

Cons

The management is flaky and often unprofessional. Senior managers do not return emails or phone calls at times, even when you are trying to give them something they have asked for. They are not slow to return phone calls and emails. They simply do not return them sometimes. There is almost no formal process around how managers should interact with employees. The net result is that moving from one manager to another is like changing jobs. You may be asked to do things in the opposite manner to how you were trained to do them. There is no consistency or uniform policy at all in many operational areas. Employees who leave the company are terminated immediately and not paid for their notice period. I would recommend to any one who considers leaving the company that you quit with no notice the business day before you leave the company unless you aren't inconvenienced by missing a paycheck.

Pros

Opportunity to be challenged by working with prestigious global companies, extremely sharp Type A co-workers, being point person on critical projects, and earn significant rewards for successful project outcomes. Opportunity to learn from highly skilled co-workers. Team of global experts "always there" to support you on projects.

Cons

SAP software is sophisticated and challenging to get configured right, and there is high pressure to get it right for the clients. Darwin partnership helps reduce risk, but everyone expected to be expanding expertise and performing. Management constantly pushing to advance individual skills, support increasing project complexity, and master new software products and versions. Relentless changes!
