Pros

Great co-workers and people. I made tons of friends.

Cons

Where do we start, your expenses to clients as far as over an hour away are not reimbursed all out of pocket. Salaries are 30-40% lower than any other consulting firm in the SAP space. ridiculous. After your second year, you are now billing regularly and you are NOT rewarded for this. Very very tough bonus structures that they try to screw you from with technicalities. They do not appreciate their senior staff, they keep hiring juniors who know nothing about business, throw them in the fire and let them figure it out. That is their training method. there is ZERO formal certification or training given. Be ready to work INSANE hours and not be compensated for it. I recommend Contax for 1-2 years but you cannot make a career out of it. VERY CHEAP OWNER - get a life man, pay your employees what they deserve.

Pros

Refreshing lack of red tape. Complete autonomy to advance in your career and become the best possible consultant. Huge depth of opportunity to experience many different ways of doing things in SAP, which is professionally valuable. Outstanding company culture and office culture. Beautiful office in an old factory in historic River North. Exceptional core of long-term consultants who can handle anything and everything - they will make your life easier. CONTAX converted me from a complete amateur to an excellent consultant. I cannot recommend it enough.

Cons

Given the relaxed culture, some complacency can set in - don't let it.
