Pros

Here you get a paycheck and perhaps a vacation when work is slow, which can be often.

Cons

You get bed bugs from the place they put you up in for orientation. Really disorganized projects. Really poor health insurance. You pay thousands in before they ever pay out anything. Really sexist environment where if you are a woman, the guys are allowed to bully you, no matter what your title is. Also, if you make the most minor mistake, your mistakes are CC'ed to VPs. Guys get a phone call about the mistake. They've cancelled the annual company meeting and projects are disorganized, oversold, and the strategy is to shame and blame the workers, perhaps to shift the blame so their bonuses are great. It's a big sell-out and destroy your co-worker environment.

Pros

- Great clients, great projects - Excellent coworkers at a peer level for knowledge-work positions - Base salary was pretty okay - Despite the pressures and the faceless life of being a below-direct-level cog here, your job is actually pretty secure if you're at least adequate at what you do

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent. You will get scheduled for several meetings and this is generally outside of your control, but you will be expected to make up ALL of that meeting time in billable work. This includes an hours-long annual company meeting. Other factors beyond your control may greatly extend your expected hours in a given week, and this stuff can even crop up as a total surprise on, say, a Friday and suddenly you are required to pull an all-nighter. Rank is everything at Acquity Group. If you are below Director level, you are a faceless, interchangeable cog. Account Managers and Engagement Managers are sometimes almost outright antagonistic toward developers (though a few of them are great). One or two will gladly throw you under the bus to protect themselves, and this sometimes involves bending the truth to do so. There is no real concept of high quality tech sales. Sales staff seemingly guess at what can be done/is possible, and then you're on the hook to deliver it.
