Pros

Good benefits for the type of company they are. Lots of good, friendly people. Good equipment. Free parking. Clean restrooms.

Cons

Too much focus on short-term profits without any regard to business strategy and staff retention. Their matrix structure is disfunctional due to lack of clarity with regard to the roles of "leaders" and severe loss of experienced, competent leadership.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.

Pros

It is a large company. Good if you are less than 2 years out of school and you need to see how a corporation works.

Cons

poor compensation, no retention incentives, corporate layers.
