Pros

Some very good people Work life balance is generally good for the industry

Cons

Some very awful people and a very poor past recruitment strategy has meant that many cannot be resourced Sales to delivery model is broken, far too many sales people who don't understand the clients or the business and should be selling second-hand BMWs Previous growth based on projects that are now failing or shrinking - no long term strategy or mature thinking Vacuum at executive level - there is virtually no-one worth looking up to, and leadership is nonexistent. The good ones are now leaving, or are being pushed to breaking point. Sycophants seem to flourish at the expense of people who work hard and deliver The good people are demotivated and leaving in droves - promotions are now being given to those who don't deserve them purely so that they don't leave

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.
