Pros

Fun staff events. Free coffee.

Cons

Live each day like it's your last! I've seen it over and over.....one minute the company is singing your praises, the next week you become a "business decision" and are escorted out of the building. No prior negative job performance review, no negative feedback, no meeting to discuss other options. They don't care that you have a mortgage to pay. They don't care that you moved halfway across the country to work for them. That you uprooted your family. That you left a better-paying job because they made promises they had no intention of keeping. They do not care about family or community. They only care about bottom line. They are hypocrites, and they are ruthless. AVOID at all costs. Take your talent to a smaller company. Take your talent to the competition.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
