Pros

-interesting work -variety of work -flexible schedule and teleworking opportunities -good amount of vacation time

Cons

-difficult, negative people create a very low morale -billable hours difficult to meet with a competition for all work -fear of losing job and what will be their next move -expectations to bill less hours than actually spent on a project with any other work being on your own personal time -too many very short projects which means constant looking for work/worrying about finding hours -expectations to be connected at all times and "on-call" 24/7 for non urgent work, or due to procrastinating by others -burn out very quickly -poor health benefits and 401k match, unacceptable for such a large company -poor quality control of deliverables, affected by budgets -no ability to move within the company

Pros

Great technology career path and project resources. Hard work pays off and allows you to climb the ladder if you're so inclined. Most employees are good people, eager to help.

Cons

Upper management made some strategic mistakes over last several years that have negatively impacted financial capability of firm. Recent layoff were directed at 55-65 year old demographic, resulting in big brain drain. New time charging policies seem unwarranted and reduce employee flexibility. No employee support from upper management, and there has been a deterioration in benefits.
