- Staff augmentation - They place people into roles versus sell projects and deploy project teams. All "projects" I have seen have been staffing work.
- Lack of transparency regarding type of work during hiring process - That's the nice way of saying they were not forthright with the type of work in the pipeline.
- Work does not align with interests or skill sets - Again, they are placing people into slots that a client or another consulting firm needs filled. There is little information regarding how you can align yourself with suitable work.
- Employees with highly variable skill sets and levels of competency are all branded as "consultant". This seems to reinforce the staffing model.
