Pros

Difficult to come up with any except Pay was OK. Benefits mediocre - they use the AON Health Exchange

Cons

Simply the most psychotic environment I've ever been in. The "merger" with HPE Services (formerly EDS) is evidently leading to waves of thousands of layoffs. I knew one person who came off a successful engagement and was laid off the very next day. North American Consulting is taking the brunt of the massive arbitrary reductions evidently because other countries simply don't allow such. Many talented people who were recently hired were laid off without warning - more likely due to contractual requirements in the HPE Services "Merger". This has created a spooky culture of "who's going to die next?!" - which includes management all the way up. I watched numerous talented managers simply quit and go elsewhere because they could not stomach the carnage. Same for very talented consultants. The CEO is on a "digital transformation" binge and core business areas are being left in the dust and creating angry customers who are switching to more professional and reliable consulting organizations. People are laid off with no warning and it has had a chilling effect throughout the company. There's a general feeling that no valuable leadership is in place in North America.

Pros

...if you're thinking about working here. Then run away as fast as possible and don't look back.

Cons

Sadly the worst time of my career. I don't believe in calling anything a mistake but these are bad people and this is a bad company. If you look below, you'll notice many bogus 5 star ratings that HR must be entering in an effort to skew the data and prop them up to a 2.7 rating - lol. Management is a bunch of recycled C- players from former great companies of years past that have also entered into a death cycle. This company is simply on the wrong side of the market disruption. There is no ability to drive top line growth so management judt focuses on operating margins. So when bookings fail to grow q/q, they must continuously cut the Opex side and headcount. And so the cycle continues. Mike Laurie's only skill is cutting costs. With HP now coming into the fold there will be more scale and more to cut to continue this cycle during which time Mike Lawrie gets to make millions while building and ceating nothing. The company has no culture and no soul. People are cattle and seen as costs or line items in a Spreadsheet.
