Pros

You are given a lot of responsibility and are empowered to take action on what you think it's appropriate, besides the mission of advocating for social and economic justice

Cons

Salaries are not top end of the market, and it's sometimes hard to identify your career path

Pros

Great place to work. Lots of opportunities to grow and learn. There is a lot of flexibility provided if one feels they can perform a different role. Travelling to client side which gives an opportunity to interact with the client, learn about their business, build relationships and improve consulting skills. Lots of smart people to work within the company.

Cons

There is an expectation for 80% travel, so not idle for engineers who dont want to travel. Growing rapidly so might be compromising on the technical expertise of the new hires.

Pros

Work with some very bright people Generally respect individuals Opportunities to work globally Chicago office has a great view

Cons

Ongoing cash problems Grade school communication mentality -- gossip is rewarded, even if it's not true Founders inner circle is always protected Politics -- office, local, national, global. If you don't like politics you are in trouble. Two-tiered organization -- billable or non. God help you if you're "overhead"
