Pros

one of the best reasons to work here is that the company allows flexible work arrangements and is very understanding of work life balance. this is one of the best places for flexible work schedules. getting time off approved has never been a problem the projects are interesting and rewarding. you are able to work on various assignments of interest. this is a place where you can take charge of your own career and always have opportunities to learn. the best part of the job are the people. the people are great to work with, smart, driven, fun. my experience has been positive

Cons

since the merger there has been a definite change in culture and policies and structure. employee morale was on the low side for some time but seems to be picking back up. it is now a global multi national company with tens of thousands of employees so you often feel lost among the crowd. the company is not as flat as it once was and communication between corporate business unit levels to the staff is somewhat lacking. employee turnover is pretty high in comparison to industry standards. business units and projects are fairly separate so it is hard to get much interaction outside of your team.

Pros

Great company, still led by the founder, focus on operational fundamentals and client satisfaction. Detailed frameworks are in place to support how we sell, how we deliver, and how we ensure that our clients are satisfied. I enjoy the work that I am doing, and the entrepreneurial atmosphere - I can communicate freely with fellow members across the company in a way that isn't inhibited by a strict "chain of command" philosophy; we are all focused on our goal of doubling the size of the company in the next 3 years, and doing so in a way that focuses on the client, not on us.

Cons

Dispersed work force, lack of an office culture.

Pros

They are a large company and many transfer options are available. They are involved in many industries so it's easy to find a project that you'll enjoy.

Cons

Getting a raise is like pulling teeth. The most effective way to get one is to get an offer from another place, which also creates animosity with your manager. There is a lot of redundant overhead, and the internal IT department is very slow and difficult to get a hold of.
