Pros

Nice offices, friendly colleagues, coffee breaks, free drinks and snacks, video games.

Cons

The entire concept of Consid is built on painting a picture of the company that doesn't align with reality. For example, the company entices consultants with assignments close to their homes to help balance their lives, but behind the scenes, the strategy is to force consultants to travel; otherwise, they are let go. People are promoted based on how good they look as leaders, not because they are the right people for the job. The Sales Director (Carl Hagberg) doesn't seem to understand the consulting industry, as he claims that the company should have 2% of consultants on the "bench" (without assignments), but if we don't have anyone available, we can't win the projects. He simply needed to show himself as tough and driven with his new title and set unrealistic goals. The recruiters are inexperienced and have no IT background. There are also no collective agreements because management considers the insurance too expensive, which means there's no compensation beyond what's legally mandated if you fall ill. Consid is a facade, trying to dress up a failing reality, and the CEO works hard to become famous, hosting a fake gala where they hand out awards to celebrities who don't even accept them because they have no idea why they've won.

Pros

Does a good job of caring for their employees with events, benefits, etc.

Cons

No real way of going further in your career, and the company makes no effort to further advance someone who has a stable contract that keeps bringing in money.

Pros

Good benefits and nice offices.

Cons

As an employee you are simply an asset for the sales department to sell, and if you are picky about your next client or role you'll get thrown off the bus. Many employees are somewhat forced to work on assignments they don't prefer, with the promise they might get something more suitable in the future. Leadership speaks about exciting clients, but many are in public sector or other dull organizations that find it hard to hire good tech talent (for obvious reasons). Middle-management is awfully substandard (and rarely seen), as most of the money is spent on company marketing and the sales department.
