Pros

Good experience to place on resume

Cons

Expected to work very long hours, permanent staff rely on consultants and temps to do their work and then will take credit for it, a lot of very unprofessional and arrogant staff at all levels, hard to trust your colleagues, fearful and passive/aggressive work environment

Pros

- Good benefits for staff: PTO, salary, 3-4 days in office, nice cafeteria...

Cons

- Highly hierarchical organization with many (many) layers of management. - Limited opportunities for advancement due to low turnover in senior leadership positions. - Retaliation? Yes, sir. Employees may be reluctant to challenge leadership or speak up. - Modernization and organizational change happen slowly, with a government-like pace. - Global initiatives often lack sufficient international perspective, as decisions are frequently driven by US-based VPs and managers who are perceived as having the final word. - Too many VPs and too few junior staff, resulting in heavy workloads for junior employees with limited recognition, compensation, or opportunities for career growth.
