Pros

There are lots of opportunities to grow within the company. If you don't like what you are currently doing then there are plenty of other places to move to.

Cons

I do not like the annual 360 degree work performance assessment system. It's too long, too complicated, and the annual presentation that defines what kind of raise or promotion you receive is done by someone else. How would you like to have an entire year's work summarized by an idiot? This system favors people who work at a regional or home office. If you work at a remote client site you will not do as well as you should.

Pros

It all depends on the group you work with. I had one phenomenal experience and another truly terrible experience.

Cons

The team you work with really determines and in some cases limits your experience

Pros

1. Well respected within the government client base. 2. Reentry into commercial consulting during the next few years should create opportunities for greater pay and more leadership slots.

Cons

1. Very TEAM centric -- the team of a half dozen people that hires you determines your salary. You may learn very quickly that someone with exactly the same resume was hired by another team for 10% to 20% more, depending on the rates involved with various client contracts. 2. You are not visible to headquarters when first hired. You may be stuck on a client site at a government agency or military base 40 hours a week. While your clients may be happy with your work, if you are not back at headquarters you are not involved with the new business proposal development efforts that are the key to making real money and advancing within the firm.
