Pros

Before the current president, I had learned a ton, got to lead some teams and had a general good experience

Cons

Since the new president started - You will be expected to hold a high utilization every quarter or you will be let go. They've laid off people every quarter for the past 3 quarters. While in consulting services, you have almost no control over your utilization. You can ask your manager to be put on a project, but if it's full, or there are no projects that fit...you're out of luck. - Culture is broken, many people in consulting services are looking to leave because of the shift in focus from helping clients to overbilling clients. - They only want to work with large clients. They have terminated contracts with clients that had steady work because the client "isn't big enough". - There are big shake up happening in executive leadership and management. Lots of people leaving.

Pros

I can say that i really have a great manager. I'm on contract work, have been for 8 years. Our manager always lets us know how contracts are going. When the renewal talks are happening and when things get signed. You are kept in the loop. Its comforting and supportive. If a contract isn't renewed our manager is already on the hunt for a new opportunity for work. You feel the Heart and commitment to employees. Our work/life balance is great. Opportunities for training and skills are always available. The pay is good. Life is good.

Cons

I think my only con would be better options for insurance, but overall compared to other friends, our insurance is decent.

Pros

Decent healthcare, with an onsite doctor if you are close enough Reasonable PTO, plus extra mental health days, as well as sick time Have employee assistance program

Cons

Everything else. The infrastructure team is considered and treated as the black sheep. WE are not included in company-wide initiative or get togethers. (Yes, they have performative inclusion, but try being the only tech support in a room full of Sales) The salary is horrific. Entry level starts ok, but then they flood you with additional responsibilities outside of your pay grade and then never actually pay you what you are worth. How it happens—Starting at a lower position and then being promoted to a title that no longer exists, so you'll keep your old title and just get new and more responsibilities. Then, they cap your salary at the lower position's top, and you have no way to advocate because you aren't "really" in that title. Then they will slowly erode the entire client base by making idiotic client promises that cannot be filled without intensive work, which all goes to a different team, and yours is phased out. All while they are stating we have great job security. 5 Layoffs/RIFs/Silent Termination waves in 6 years Removal of whole teams that support infrastructure, with no replacement—for example, axing the ENTIRE Quality Control team and having no replacement force, just telling individual teams to figure it out.
