Pros

Career development and support Leadership and managers are kind and listen to concerns (at least mine) Large range of job replacement options Good Salary and benefits such as 401 K matched Work life balance

Cons

It is a consulting company, so the contract itself will stop you from applying to permanent positions at the company you are assigned to, for the first year and a half usually. Sometimes more restrictions apply. They are very hands-on so you will have to report to them separately, having more supervision for your projects, this can get tedious. Very slow application for their "desktop" where you would submit time sheets, training, end of year reviews and various other tasks.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
