Pros

-brand name recognition -401K contribution (10%/yr; 5 yr to vest) -tuition reimbursement ($5000/yr)

Cons

-politics -not a place for technical career -more like a marketing company or a staffing firm -narrow view of leadership (good salesmanship = good leadership) -emphasize form over substance (care more about the image and outward appearance rather than the quality of the services) -top heavy/huge overhead cost (charge client a lot, pay you so little, the rest needs to support the fat management structure)

Pros

Some of the best project teams I have every managed with some very challenging clients.

Cons

The assessment process is deadly. People who do not even know you pass judgement on you. You have little opportunity to offer your assessment of how you were judged. Also, when a client is displeased with any type of your team's work and voices such concerns to upper management even if you documented all aspects and challenges with your managemert and the client , you wil be thrown under the bus regardless. Upper management is not interested in your opinions. The client is always right and you are not!
