      Good company not much growth

      It support specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The projects are stable and the company does try and acquire new contracts. The members that you work with genuinely seem to want to help you succeed and I've made a lot of good friends during my time.

      Cons

      Very little career growth and it basically it breaks down to HR not wanting to help you and will become unresponsive. They'd rather hire someone new than move you to a different area. This might be a good place to start a career in IT but depending upon your project and satisfaction it might not be somewhere you stay for 20 years.

      Good Entry Level Job

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a great entry level job. It's right next to my college so they hired a lot of us once we graduate.

      Cons

      I don't see any at the moment

      Horrendous Operating Procedures

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Their benefits if you can actually get them setup correctly aren't the worst. They have an employee stock purchase plan where 3-3.5% of your salary is matched depending on your job grade as well as a deposit into your HSA. Assignments depending on your network can be a good fit for your career interests and help you grow in more areas. Work life balance depends on where you're staffed but overall among my colleagues is good unless you're slapped with an unsustainable commute.

      Cons

      The one pro I can think of comes with a hefty con: Their HR department will do everything in their power to not allow your benefits to be setup correctly. Some people wait months for these to kick in and eventually give up trying to deal with them. Aside from internal issues like HR they also have outdated systems that logging into works less than a quarter of the time. For a contender in technology consulting .... color me confused. Salary structures are lower than average compared to other large consulting companies (Slalom, Deloitte, Accenture, PWC) and these other companies offer more generous benefits packages as well.
