Pros

It's a money saving perk if you're lucky enough to get to work from home but see Cons on why this doesn't always happen. The offices are all in downtown big city locations if major metros are what you're looking for.

Cons

Firstly I was paid peanuts. And it wasn't just me. After I left I had to sit through a US Labor Department interview because they were looking into 10EQS. Not cool to be schooled on how your former employer didn't obey labor laws for stuff like minimum wage or overtime. 10EQS lucked out on me because they barely paid me minimum wage if you only counted 40 hours/wk in the office and I didn't track how much overtime I'd done (alot!!!!!!) or have any proof like emails since I'd already left 10EQS. The Labor Department's Data Enforcement website shows 5 violations for 10EQS Consulting Services North America. Not cool. It was crazy hard to find good, experienced mentors on my team. The company had people promoted in delivery roles with no people management experience so new hires were kinda their test run. It was like having to report to a bunch of new MBA's and people with only internships and short gigs before they got hired at 10EQS. They handed me work they didn't have time to do or didn't want to do and checked up on me alot to make sure I was doing it so they didn't get in trouble if it didn't get done. That was pretty much my mentoring and career development in Delivery. Lastly people got treated differently by their office region and not just wages. Some Europe office employees could jet out for weeks to visit family overseas but still be "working remotely". I asked to work from home a few days a week because my commute was expensive and they were paying me peanuts, only to be shot down and told I couldn't. Didn't make sense. I'd go more than a day without seeing anyone in my office since the suites were spread out in the building. I hardly heard from the other US office. Europe was always calling for status checks on the work she gave me but that's Skype so I might as well have worked from home. I don't understand why there were different policies for different offices and people.

Pros

Quick and simple to get qualified and paid

Cons

Initially confused about the first appointment with "Collaboration Manager." Wasn't sure if it was with one of 10EQS employees or with the actual client.

Cons

Occasionally, the project scope is set before you’re brought into the engagement, but that’s common with consulting platforms, and 10EQS has been improving this process
