Pros

Opportunities abound if you make yourself valuable and seek out work when times are slow. Literally offices everywhere in the world. Pay is relatively strong (for my field).

Cons

Upper management changes the structure of the organization seemingly ever year. I work in what I'd call a hub office, and every so often you'll see the upper crust doing something of unknown importance. I know they're important because we get the good catering leftovers. There is a haze of management above my immediate supervisor. No one really knows where it goes outside the office. The mood feels insular at times and untenable at times. It is ALL about utilization rate. Really talented people are let go for unknown reasons.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
