Pros

Vacation time is generous if you can take it. Mature employees. Really good on diversity and inclusion. Some really smart highly knowledgeable SMEs.

Cons

Zero onboarding. Very old school tops down management. Billable hour targets changed mid year without warning. Terrible IT infrastructure - hard to get your client work done. Nepotism was a big issue on my team. No rhyme or reason on bonus payouts - you get what you get but don’t ask why or how it was calculated. Probably the biggest issue is low salaries and zero to barely there annual increase. For an HR company there is zero HR and the cobblers children really have no shoes. Losing a lot of people over the last year mainly due to wage issue and employees leaving for higher salaries and better management.
