Pros
Varies by project but there are some managers and partners who are very human and genuinely care to help promote you. Unfortunately, the low budget and recent changes to the structure give them less say.
Cons
Excessive pressure since they relied so heavily on the federal contracts that were cut, but it was on a downward trend before that. Since 3 years ago, they increased utilization targets and changed floating holidays to affect your utilization, effectively increasing expectations for the year by 4 work days. This year had rounds of layoffs that said it was for underperformers, but was more for people who slightly missed the utilization targets due to the cancelled contracts and were on the bench. It’s a business and billed hours are required for profits, but this company is changing and the whiplash of changes that only benefit the top is draining. Morale is low and budgets for bonuses are low.
