They claim to put people first, but only (and always) after the bottom line.

Pros

I like the flex hours, and my direct supervisor is pretty okay. Free coffee/tea is always a bonus, and they provide quality office supplies (as you can see, I'm struggling to say many positives). I did learn many aspects of my specific industry and feel like I have gained many skills to move on to a better position elsewhere. Oh and company iPhones are a definite perk for anyone in a field or management role!

Cons

Compensation is below industry standard for anyone in a junior position. They spew out corporate slogans like "we put people first" and "we do what is right", yet refuse to live by these statements. Employees are undercut at every turn and FAR too much emphasis is put on utilization at the expense of actually doing the job right. Too many staff are incompetent and just fake their timecards, and yet management has no interest in investigating as long as we seem profitable (more important to cheat clients out of money I guess). Finally, perhaps those in very high-up positions shouldn't send around huge company bulletins about their private planes when it is completely unrelatable.

Pros

Very flexible work arrangements. I can start and end work any time I like. I can take days off whenever I need them, provided I have the vacation/banked time. Good compensation compared to other consulting firms I worked for. Fun team members, and relaxed environment.

Cons

A fast growing company with an acquisition strategy means competing cultures between business units. Sometimes hard to get things done with the interface between those points. Very few standard procedures so work can seem chaotic and inconsistent, although it all gets done at the end of the day
