Pros

Great pay, a lot of diverse projects in many industries and opportunities to move around and learn, lot of highly knowledgeable and skilled coworkers, very diverse culture and international footprint, your experience could vary depending on your chain of command.

Cons

“Unlimited PTO” is a scam to keep you on 12-month rolling PTO (don’t go over 4 weeks!) no accrual, no payout if you quit. If you are light on client work and bill to overhead, as directed “publicly”, expect to get a talking to behind closed doors. Expect to say yes to too many things to maximize billable hours then regret your decision when you’re overworked and get a raise that’s just a tad less than inflation for your exceeding performance.
