Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good people, great education, and good atmosphere to work on most occasions. Kept up to date on current technologies.

Cons

Too much travel, not enough home time, and inconsistent management. Very short sited on quarter to quarter results and not long term results. Push, push, push to get your 90% billable rate in!

Pros

Professional work environment; very flexible with work schedule, treated with respect and given freedom to work as long as goals are met

Cons

Too big and disconnected, change was slow which leads to layoffs to counter act slow change and get to bottom line results faster

Pros

- Strong leadership and good management development programs - Great benefits ($0 premium healthcare option, good 401k match) - People are generally nice, down to earth, intelligent and hard working - Lots of opportunity if you have a diverse technical / business background

Cons

- Promotional opportunities are not transparent; there seem to be people behind the curtains plotting your career for you and exec level positions are sometimes bestowed on those who put in the most face time and make the right connections while there are some very very hard working people who go nowhere - Company is super stingy -- we don't have kitchens or water coolers (basic necessities!), printers always seem to be broken and company outings are none existent - Development opportunities may be limited if you do not have a technical background
