Pros

Competitive pay scale, work life balance taken into consideration. Friendly employees, good small client base. Lots of interesting projects, and some even cutting edge. Usually stress free client site work Monday through Thursday and work from home on Fridays. Bonus pay outs since the last couple of years has been good. Good expense policy. Senior Management fairly keen on your progress and updates and do recognize your efforts. Good social culture, team events and parties are small scale but always fun. Lot of opportunities to travel within the US and work in different sectors. Easy to relocate from one office to another.

Cons

The promotion / performance appraisal process is very much revenue centric. If a minimum revenue % has not been achieved you can forget that promotion. Roles are not standard across the board - since the company promotes generalists, you can have a solid year with a lot of leadership opportunities and another with zero visibility or opportunities. As an employee you do not have a say in where what client you get placed. The company is also heavily focused on IT projects and there are not too many management consulting opportunities, even though that is usually the marketing pitch while making a job offer.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
