Pros

No end to challenging problems to solve, with smart people working on them. I often feel like I'm the dumbest person in the room among my colleagues. Lots of opportunities to branch out into other types of work. The pay is good and the benefits always seem to beat out other companies I look at.

Cons

Not many I can think of. If you're not a very social person, the flexibility of work options can make it tough to find project work.

Pros

- Exceptional flexibility to chart your own professional path, allowing you to focus heavily on technical delivery or pivot into management as you see fit. - A wide variety of projects across different domains, offering plenty of opportunities to dive into interesting and impactful work. - The day to day environment is elevated by genuinely friendly, intelligent, and collaborative coworkers.

Cons

- Recent significant reductions in force have taken a visible toll on the workforce, leaving many employees feeling jaded and worn down. - As the work program contracts, there is a growing tendency to simply do whatever sponsors request rather than providing the objective, independent guidance the company is known for. - The internal job market can be incredibly difficult to navigate. If you do not have a strong personal network within the company, finding billable work can feel almost impossible. - The cultural environment is not uniform. Your overall job satisfaction will vary dramatically depending on the specific division or group you land in.
