Pros

High Visibility on Projects Smaller projects with small teams. Good place if you like to figure out everything on your own. They pay for many Microsoft Certifications.

Cons

SWC will often underbid a project in order to get the sale, which will results in undue stress on the deliver team, and has often soured relationship with clients. This also results in many consultants not having a positive work/life balance. They had a Management buy out a few years ago, and senior management is run by fairly incompetent people. Nice, but incompetent. They are still trying to figure out how to run a successful Software Development Practice. There are no defined processes and Software development follows wild west coding practices. Definitely does not hire the smartest group of people in the industry.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
