Pros

-Managers respect work life balance and getting time off is never an issue if planned well -Encourages internal employee driven initiatives -It's "Collaborative Business Experience" is mostly true both within engagement teams and with clients

Cons

Performance management is inconsistent and poor. You tend to get promoted or receive better ratings if on a large project. Company has good expertise in project management, but non-IT business knowlege is very limited. Consequently, company is slow to pick up on new business trends/requirements such as Social Media or Social CRM. More and more, company seems to be getting only traditional vanilla IT projects with little innovation opportunity or challenge. Employee pool is average, very few folks from ivy league or top 20 universities. Utilization is the highest priority and consultants can be thrown to any project with no regard to career planning

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
