Pros

World class reputation, excellent resume builder, take advantage of the top IT research in the world and rapidly build knowledge Symposium & conferences are the best IT training conferences in the industry. The "worker bee" employees are great quality people all really trying to help each other in a difficult & challenging environment

Cons

It is a company making money despite inept senior management. Management has little to know understanding of their customer environments or their people nor do they care to. Although it is said to be work life balance it is a push and burn culture with arrogance, lack or caring, etc. It is a metric driven environment however metrics are not measured to derive customer satisfaction but rather to push employees to to transact more "interactions per month" with customers the focus is not on quality but on quantity Goals are defined in a manner so that they are impossible to achieve vs they way other companies define achievable goals for employees. Then the goals are interpreted in manners subjectively according to the "favor" of the employee. The only people promoted are yes men who drive to the performance metrics and are approved by the hidden "connected" core team that have been with the company a significantly long time.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
