Pros

Some truly talented people who care about the best interests of their clients. Some great people to work with. Lots of young talent with potential in all areas of the company.

Cons

Back office Senior Management has no clue. Significant resources devoted to KPI reports, but staff is then told they don't really tell the entire picture. If that is the case, why develop them? All power resides in the hands of a few old timers who have no clue how to treat people or develop them. Very political at the top. Line level staff are not fooled by the public persona...nobody trusts Management...they are just afraid to say anything and get blackballed. Those who do speak up are usually gone within a couple years. Massive talent outflow in the past 3 years.

Pros

I'm not there anymore. Fair pay. Started out great.

Cons

Midway through a year-long contract I already started looking. It was an extremely boring place to work. This is the kind of place where you stay within your boundary. In other words, if you are an architect, you design diagrams all day. No hands-on work - even if you know what you're doing. I was even rebuked on several occasions for working with a developer to help him out. I was told I needed to tell him to ask someone else responsible for that. If you like to do hands on and you are an architect, you will hate it here.
