This is a great place to work!

Pros

The culture and people are the best thing about working here. The culture is one of work life balance while everyone has a "do-whatever-it-takes" attitude. The people we hire are the best and brightest so it makes for an awesome work experience. The leadership team understands that their people are their biggest asset and treat us as such. There is a significant amount of money devoted to training and certifications.

Cons

The only knock on the company and our local leadership team is that they are very risk averse. This is obviously a good thing for longevity of the company but does cause some angst when trying to pursue certain opportunities, especially in IT.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great learning resources inherited from Arther Anderson days. Healthy revenue growth Strong infusion of ex-Accenture leaders Emphasis on importance of networking Adoption of social media is gaining traction

Cons

Small yet the country market leaders indulge in politics at the expense of customers and employee. Performance evaluation is erratic - you get promoted and fired shortly after. It's never about performance or development it's politics. They easily sucked into a salary competition with the big 4 and ends up overpaying everyone. They outbid McKinsey in Shanghai - and worst of all circulate the news to everyone.
