Pros

Good people at the staff level Company events are nice, but over the top in comparison with day-to-day culture Some groups are doing interesting work

Cons

Staff augmentation focused, contracting firm calling itself a consulting organization After a deal is sold, "consultants" are left without support Difficult clients are retained at the expense of "consultants" Leaders are not invested in the technologies they represent Chain of leadership has conflicting priorities Communication is confusing to staffed "consultant", client, and team Very much a clique culture Variable pay model is pushed, but bench time makes it a bad deal for "consultants" Mediocre benefits Managers focused on staffing, not growing the business A contracting company would be a better choice

Pros

Upper management truly cares about each individual employee. It is amazing that not only your general manager, but also the corporate level execs attend a ton of the local office's events. Intelligent People! I can't speak enough about the competence of my fellow co-workers. They are amazing leaders in the field that offer you all the challenges you could desire in a job. The company encourages and welcomes professional development. It is great to be at an organization that values its employees and allows them to challenge themselves outside of the normal client work. No Travel, which equates to a great work life balance. The Dallas office has a "Getting Naked" policy, where integrity, honesty, and ethics runs deep.

Cons

Paid Time Off seems a bit sparse and was not negotiable. Career advancement is a bit confusing and tends to lack definition. On-boarding was a bit lacking.
