Pros

The people are absolutely amazing. There is a real sense that everyone is there to help everyone else out. The semi-annual reviews. Feedback and improving people career appears to be important to the company, even if it doesn't always deliver. Decent benefit package, and at the higher levels the pay is great

Cons

A lot of people get stuck on un-exciting "projects," that are really just staff augmentation at some client in the far-out suburbs. If you're not on one of the upper managements "go-to" list, you pretty much won't get anything exciting. I know this goes with Chicago and consulting, but all of the current clients are in far-out suburbs. Hour and a half commutes each way are common, along with the expectation that you put in 40 hours at your primary client and 5-10 more doing other stuff. Not very competitive salary wise on the lower end.

Pros

Incredible peer group. It’s like the kids from all your honors programs in one place. Yet at Pariveda they’re all cool, interesting, and collaborative. The environment is set up so people are not in competition with each other. You earn promotion on your merits and a transparent framework. If you dedicate yourself, there is no place where you can grow faster than at Pariveda.

Cons

The personal demands can be high. It’s not a “60 hours a week” high. More like: intensely focusing on personal growth, always seeking to learn, helping others grow is an intense mindset. Plus, you look around and the baseline bar is really high Pariveda is in a state of change. That change is bringing some chaos and morale issues.
