Great place to start a career in Consulting

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Senior Management can be reached if you have concerns or questions 2. Leading Software in Business Intelligence. Probably the best among the competition

Cons

It is much harder to move up if you start at the bottom than if you come in with some experience from elsewhere. A lot of your success will depend on which area of the country you are assigned to work for. Overall benefits for employees are not quite on par with the competition. The company does not offer any tuition reimbursement options. In the past year the company has lost a lot of its stock's value and revenue from new licensing has been done compared to previous years.

Juniors should think of other companies, seniors or experienced might have a better hand

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Different types of technologies to work with.

Cons

Too many people, working on same thing. Age gap of 5-6 years between senior and junior due to IT stock market crash in 2002 Promotions are difficult. The company has been recruiting only since last 2-3 years creating a batch of people with same chances of promotion. Everybody at higher levels are managers, they have reached the limit on how high they can be promoted. Senior level not supportive enough due to work pressures on them. Machines are very slow, and office is old.
