Pros

good pay - and if you never want to be bothered by management, this is the place for you.

Cons

Highly disorganized favorites club - only a handful of favorites receive coaching and opportunities. After working there for nearly 1 year I was surprised to learn that managers were to be evaluating their direct reports. After speaking to other members of my team, I found I wasn't the only one surprised. None of us had ever had 1-on-1 sessions with our manager; and later learned that there were those who did, and coincidentally it was those who also went out drinking with management, who ended up in higher positions within the company. When I asked for a manager meeting I was told I was doing a great job. I had never heard that before. Either you are a drinking buddy, really good suck-up or just a cog in the wheel. A lot of those cogs are talented and hard-working. What a waste.

Pros

The work enviromnent is good, the site offers many perks and ammenities to employees including multiple cafeterias, coffee shops and convenience stores. Everyone from management down works in a cubicle type environment, you will receive your own cubicle and computer. Pay raises are usually given anually unless the company feels the economy pushes them into a raise freeze, this happened in 2009. The client environment is a little intimidating at first but GP employees generally work together in a small group so it doesn't take long to feel comfortable.

Cons

It is like working for a small company as you work on contract for a customer at their site. Therefore there is little room for advancement or growth unless new clients are acquired which is rare. Management remains stagnant and follows a do as I say not as I do policy. They are strict with hourly employees arriving on time and not missing work but follow a more flexible schedule themselves which has led to some frustration and resentment. At the main site there is a 3/4 mile walk from the parking lot to the office, which has no windows. You are expected to work your walk time into your commute and arrive at your desk at your appointed work time.

Pros

I've learned more on the job in one year than I did in all of grad school. Team members freely share knowledge and offer support. Very creative and fun place to interact with peers. If you can survive here, you can survive in any Fortune 500 company.

Cons

On-the-job training sometimes misses critical information that you are accountable for. Management too busy to share much knowledge, offer much support, or discuss career path and aspirations. Creative potential often sacrificed for business reasons. If you can survive here, you can survive in any Fortune 500 company, but the pay doesn't reflect that (pretty stressful place to be during busy times).
