Pros

Financially stable with an attractive stock purchase plan. Global footprint and one of the larger IT Services firms.

Cons

I have witnessed a slow decline, particularly in the U.S. At one time, the medical benefits were very strong and coupled with a great work-life balance driven by a "work from home" policy, and attractive stock purchase plan. This is no longer the case. Today, the benefits are not very attractive, as the enormously high-deductible health plan creates the feeling of almost having no health insurance at all. Combine this with a weak 401k match and now a mandate to move all U.S. job functions into an office, the company is average and probably below average, in my opinion. Extremely process driven to the point where many functions spend more time on "process" than actually performing real work. Sometimes, I have witnessed colleagues going through the motions of a process, just for the sake of checking a box that really doesn't matter, while the real work gets neglected. A limited career path in some cases (depending on function) unless you live in Virginia.

Isolated Through Training in Atlanta Location Then Fired

Pros

Learned a lot through training Heard there was a sense of camaraderie between consultants at other locations Very well-organized systems Very fair compensation

Cons

Felt incredibly isolated on the day-to-day, having days go by without any interaction outside of Skyping people in other locations. I had no idea who was physically there and who wasn't Location did not have a workstation prepared for me for the first few days, causing a late start to training. Got fired after training despite showing promise and exhibiting problems visible in other candidates (although perhaps that might be just me since apparently this is not a common occurrence)

Pros

Many very good people, average benefits, average salary, some residual positive culture from acquired companies while it lasts. Women are well represented throughout the company.

Cons

Non-existent bonuses, very poor leadership at the local level with the exception of those recently acquired through merger, outdated technology for internal systems, centralized policies and processes that don't make sense at the local level. Culture is lacking. Significant lack of integrity in management at the director level. Burnout is not only high, it is expected. Lack of ethnic and cultural diversity.
