      Decisions are made from the top. Managers and employees have very little control over departmental or career direction.

      Pros

      If you can wear multiple hats both technically and professionally you will fit in with this company. Don't get confortable though, because this company will drop anyone at the drop of a hat if you do not fit into their current plans, fail to meet ambiguous quotas, make too much money, or don't fit into their "culture".

      Cons

      Prepare yourself for culture shock and double speak. While the company proudly proclaims it's success is due to the equal balance of interests between the three major stake holders (the share holder, the client, and the employee) the real focus is almost entirely on making money, so the share holder benefits the most, the clients come in a distant second, and the employees are left to sink or swim in the last place in the pecking order.

      Top heavy company filled with overly ambitious sycophants.

      Pros

      Pay is competitive for the area, and the work is interesting.

      Cons

      HR is centralized so your issues will *not* be addressed. Too many managers all of whom disagree on how best to approach the project which translates to low morale, and inferior deliverables. The worst onboarding experience I've ever experienced which lasts for months. Getting a raise, even if taking a higher paying job within the project, outside of cycle is impossible. Disorganized connection between middle management and upper management leads to confusion on objectives. Also, as of Jan. 2014 all health benefits have been cut from PPO to CDHP/HSA where almost no services are covered, which means your healthcare costs will have to come from your previously competitive salary.
