      Pros

      Salary is higher than most companies. There is unlimited potential if you are willing to relocate. Company is world-wide. Some offices work 4 10-hour days, others 4.5 days per week. Interesting work.

      Cons

      When an office runs out of work, they tend to loose one of their core values of "People Are Our Greatest Asset." If you are not billable on a project, you better find yourself another job within the organization and be willing to relocate at your own expense.

      Need to refocus on all employees... remember that you need all members of the team to be successful!

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule. If you find your niche, do your job, and keep your head down, you have some level of job security.

      Cons

      Too much pressure to remain 100% billable at all levels. Some employees have no control over their project assignments or lack thereof. Also, extreme favoritism is shown. There are employees that should have been laid off years ago! Advancement/raises depend on who you know, not your quality of work. Corporate is spending a ton of money moving everyone into an open floor plan environment with cheap looking furnishings reminiscent of a call center. Very little room for growth and creativity.
