Interesting, but maybe not for the long haul

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers (working group, office environment); flexible hours; decent benefits; lack of geographic boundaries meant plenty of networking and project opportunities for the motivated staffer; interesting work; company maintained momentum through the economic downturn.

Cons

Aggressive billable goals detracted from project quality and led to some dramatic burnouts. Frequent neglect of smaller, innovative offerings in favor of unwieldy big $ projects. Some clear geographic differences in advancement opportunities, and overall lack of advancement opportunities for primarily technical staff (salaries not matching skill and responsibility level). Slow trimming of deadwood.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people, challenging work, and you aren't limited to what your job title states.

Cons

When there's little work to go around, it's bad news if you aren't a project manager of some sort or don't have a regularly occurring duty that needs tending to.
