Business Outlook

Pros

it closes for Christmas free coffee (although unpleasant)

Cons

Constant recycling of management with each bringing in fresh levels of incompetence. No attention to people other than to push out to client sites Extremely poor morale. High turnover of staff. Either you leave voluntarily or stick around for the annual redundancy consultation. I pity poor graduates coming into this business. They will simply be fodder for the feast at the Partner table.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance flexibility, can work from home, and basically set your own hours. There were a few genuinely decent co-workers. The company provides a good facade to hide employee unhappiness, such as nice new offices, new technology, new logos, new branding, new marketing, etc., which are enjoyable.

Cons

Very corporate, a lot of cool-aid drinkers, many employees put the company and their own job before their own and their co-workers' well being. Also, there is no defined organization structure and less work than required to maintain staff. Since there is less work than necessary to maintain staff, it's an endless game of musical chairs to cover bill-ability. Over time in this atmosphere employees begin to feel threatened, or are alienated. I was not the only employee who became severely depressed due to lack of work resulting in feeling superfluous and worthless. There is no teamwork or camaraderie among coworkers.

Lagging Compensation and Performance

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is interesting and there are opportunities to make a positive difference in the world. The company has decent work life balance.

Cons

I have been here for nearly 3 years and the entire time performance has lagged competitors and the stock price has been hammered. Compensation has fallen off over the last two merit cycles and is now at the point where it is not keeping up with the market nor competitors in a strong job market. Many talented people have left for higher salaries.
