Cons
Take what they tell you during the interview process with a grain of salt. They sell the position as more of a role involved with the Account teams and Sales process when really you are a glorified help desk/call center employee with double the work. Client's calling in to Support desk are often rude, arrogant, and unappreciative of the great work done by the consultants here. It can get very stressful and aggravating handling 15-20 calls a day in which you are doing a lot of the work for your clients or answering mind numbingly easy questions. Management does little to inspire and motivate workers and will take any opportunity they can to criticize your work. Reactive is the best word to describe your day to day tasks as issues come up and clients call with problems. If you do not handle stress well DO NOT take this job. Promotion is done by how much time you've worked there not the quality of your work. If on paper you do not meet the length of time required fill position, you will not have a shot at moving up regardless of qualities. Mobility is very rigid and turnover is relatively high.
