Pros

It's a job with competitive pay. There are still some bright, intelligent people left that you may (or may not) get to work with.

Cons

Things started to take a significant slide downward after merging with Adea. Management is unresponsive and uncommunicative. There was a failure to promptly and adequately communicate the lose of the contract with the client. Further, when problems arose, emails and phone calls would go unanswered for days or weeks at a time. HR is also unresponsive to HR-related issues. After the Adea merge, there was an abrupt and sudden change in the time of policy. Vacation time was decreased by one week and constraining requirements were added to how and when time could be taken off. The worse part is, with the change came a new time tracking system. Vacation time from the old system was not transferred to the new system properly and this impacted *lots* of people. *Nine* months later, the issue is still unresolved. How the HR department is ran is unprofessional and quite possibly running things illegally. As it stands now, I am still waiting on my final paycheck (it's a week overdue). Due to the unresolved vacation time issues, the paycheck is significantly less than it should be (about 60 hours difference!) If you're willing to work for a place that is unapologetic about the bottom line being more important than employees, than this is your place.

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.
