      Pros

      a nice place to meet new people and networking in between your jobs

      Cons

      - industry standard pay with terrible benefits - only 3 weeks of PTO with no sick leaves, only 7 public holidays - no 401k match. - very high co-pay for adding family to health care plan. Work: -no long term engagements with clients. - 4-6 week strategy projects with a lot of bench time (i.e- no bonus!) - you will "travel" anywhere in 35mile radius from your home office without any reimbursements. -Since you have multiple projects thru out the year, you will always be on your toes(so much for no travel job!!) - unable to deliver to client expectations (very less repeat business) - too many managers and very few who actually do the job -if you are going to be in IT, be prepared for 50+hrs/week from week 2

      Pros

      No travel....that is about it.

      Cons

      - Staff aug work - Clueless leadership, especially on business consulting side - Latest trend of not hiring management consultants out of Big 4 (instead of hiring people with no consulting experience for "PM" or "BA" roles aka staff aug)

      Business Outlook

      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
