      Pros

      A variety of interesting projects, impressive employees and resumes, exposure to a variety of duties and tasks, great opportunities to acquire new skills and take on new roles and responsibility for personal growth.

      Cons

      The majority of your yearly performance-based compensation is given in a one-time "cash" bonus (taxed at 40%) vs. being added to your yearly salary (taxed at normal tax rates; this keeps your salary lower, which is what your 401K contribution is calculated on--less salary, less employer salary-based contributions).

      Little work, little direction or patience during training

      Pros

      Good work-life balance Centrally located in a busy area of DC

      Cons

      I hardly had any work the first seven months I worked here. Apparently they had hired me without really having any work prepared for me to do. This is a problem because of billing so I tried to cover myself by asking for billable and non-billable work all the time so they were amply aware of this. After seven months upper management caught on and I was somehow blamed for this insisting whatever small amounts of work I had been given I wasn't recording enough hours for. They encourage you to ask questions but then act irritated when you do. There was one very unprofessional colleague though the rest were fine, but in such a small office and group (10 people) that really affects morale.
