Pros
- Big name clients - Good pay for starters
Cons
- Training for college hires doesn't represent open needs - university recruitment is totally mismanaged - No choice in roles/projects - limited number of projects to choose from and the choice is made for you by the resource managers who couldn't care less about your personal career path/ambitions/interests/ or even talents for that matter - No social camaraderie - out of about 500 employees in LA area, only a group of 10-20 actively participates in social events (if and when those ever happen) - Lacking talent - people's skills are generally below average across the board. Poor communication skills, managers lacking basic people and project management knowledge - Too much politics within projects and on corporate level - transparency is almost discouraged; management "initiatives"/promises never live to full fruition - Arcane internal technology/tools - own helpdesk is a disaster! So inefficient and frustrating. Slow computers that keep being recycled after over 5 years of use! Time and expense tool is the most ridiculous waste of time - No flexibility - long hours at client site, travelling, nightly offshore calls; sick leaves, work from home and flexible schedule request are not rejected, but highly looked down upon
