Pros

Provided a good amount of training and hands-on experience, opportunity to work on complex, sometimes cutting edge investigation work

Cons

Old boys club, required greater than 100% billability but also required non-billable H&S training, top-heavy organization, needlessly stressful managerial style, "bonuses" for working overtime were gift certificates to company store -- overall, bad culture with lots of mistrust between "lower level" employees doing the work and "higher level" managers supervising

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
