Pros

Global company so you get to work with so many people from all over, mostly Europe and Latin America. Lots of resources within the company to source for projects.

Cons

It takes some adjustment to get used to some of the cold calculating that comes out of people from eastern Europe. This is not a warm and friendly bunch. Doesn't value engineering talent and client relationships. Client accounts are arbitrarily re-assigned with no thought for existing relationships to dev team members or their abilities. You are expendable to them. Team members are re-assigned to a project manager, so switching projects means new manager, who may or may not care about you as a person. If they do care about you, then maybe you get someone looking out for your next contract, otherwise...you are on your own.

Pros

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Cons

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
