Pros

Good company with many excellent opportunities for professional and career growth. Very talented professional staff. There is almost no travel. Cap Gemini (the parent company) provides some benefits as far as a knowledgebase, online training, etc. Head of the pack as far as staff aug firms go. Good internal training opportunities, BooksOnline, SkillPort, internal PMP training, etc.

Cons

Can be somewhat political. Although they will say they're a project company, they're primarily a staff augmentation company (at least in the Dallas-Fort Worth area). There are some project opportunities though. Benefits are not great -- 15 PTO days (combined vacation and sick leave) and 7 paid holidays. Insurance is pretty bad (high deductible w/ HSA account). They work very hard to minimize consultant costs.

Pros

Great mentorship, great career development such as trainings, certifications, education reimbursement. It is a good place to expand your skills and managers will step in and help you understand how to navigate tricky situations especially when clients are difficult.

Cons

Low pay. They tell potential hires about "the bench" and how you can still get bench pay when you're not billing at a client while they look for your next opportunity. Increasingly, they lay people off, sometimes after only a few days or right as you hit the bench. Often ask you to work beyond normal 8-5 contracting hours to contribute to the company after a full day of billable work or doing additional trainings on your own time (nights, weekends, using your own PTO). Quite often they paint a rosy picture during monthly internal updates, so you think you're on track for your full bonus payout and then when the year closes, they say other offices didn't make their numbers so our bonuses are lower.
