Pros

technically challenging projects (if you can get on them), peers are nice, potential for spot bonus for exemplary work (depends on your supervisor)

Cons

pay is at least 10% lower than competition, benefits are mediocre, working remotely is available but frowned upon, offices 20 miles apart refuse to integrate, no direction for advancement. I work 20% overtime just to meet salary equivalents of competitors. Annual increase is less than 2%, no Christmas bonus.

Pros

Found few items to say pros on, coffee and snacks were nice and good for a break

Cons

Not at all what i expected. Most of organization is run by a select few old timers that manipulate. Accounting system is terrible, managers complain consistently every week then complain to us. Hard to understand how this company is so big and has this many issues inside. Favorite day there was last day.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with worldwide career opportunities; potential for unlimited advancement if you impress the right people.

Cons

Billable hour goals are more important than delivering a quality product. No work-life balance. Senior management lacks understanding of why people actually want to help clients solve problems. Divided company culture between true Arcadians and those firms that they acquire.
