Smart people. Great HQ.

Education

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Room to grow. Upscale setting in McLean, VA, right next to Tyson's Mall. Proactive leadership. CEO is a true visionary.

Cons

Silo'd. Traffic nightmare on usual days. Due to proximity to the largest shopping mall in the tri-state area, traffic is downright nightmarish on holidays.

Nice for first job - you can get trained and improve your knowledge and professional experience in a friendly atmosphere

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Atmosphere - very friendly, no rats or career-focused people, no toxic co-workers , trainings -access to a lot of proffessional trainings includint TSQL, PL/SQL, Informatica, Data Mining etc , location - the city centre of the capital of Poland , travel opportunities - business trips allover the world , no-stress job - in comparison with other consulting / IT companies

Cons

Salary - much lower than the competition, the way the top management treats consultants - isolation, cut funds for integration etc , no perspectives for promotion - after 1.5 years you might get promoted to the Senior Associate Consultant, after another 1,5 year to the Consultant position, but nothing is guaranteed and most of the people leave for company after 1-2 years for a better position.
