Pros

1. Excellent respect for work-life balance 2. Generally has good insight into properly doing Agile (though clients can sabotage this). 3. Have some excellent, technically savvy, consultants

Cons

1. Lack of vision; way too reactionary to market trends 2. Knee-jerk reactions (Hire lots of college grads, then blame them for project failures and fire then all at once; Hire a bunch of Senior VPs and fire them a few months later, then a few reappear again another month later) 3. Murky requirements for promotions and reluctance to promote 4. Basically the offshore model on-shore; most projects just maintenance work or small enhancements that could be done in India; not many real consulting projects 5. Pricing model still in flux, with lack of profits 6. Lack of projects due to recessionary environment 7. Projects that could be profitable are not due to questionable personnel decisions and over-staffing 8. Lack of accountability - laziness and incompetence not quickly confronted and re-mediated

Pros

Great work environment. Real commitment to diversity that goes beyond the surface level.

Cons

Thin spread of employees that results in a lot of work on each contributor individually.

Pros

Great well known clients & interesting projects.

Cons

There are no growth opportunities; people managers don't know how to lead; there are layoffs every 2 months for the past 18 months; there is no training (employees are told to learn on their own time / weekends) because if they are not >50% chargeable, they are on the RIF list. The company grew through acquisitions but never integrated or unified the various companies. There are no standard processes, everything is ad hoc. There were no raises this year and no bonuses either of the last 2 years.
