Pros

They get work and lots of it. A diverse mix of projects involving many disciplines, most of which are available in-house. Pay is OK.

Cons

Poor work environment / atmosphere. Company culture is your standard corporate flavor of awfulness. Out of touch management once you get above the office level. Benefits are crap.

Pros

GREAT benefits package including medical, dental, vision and a strong 401k benefit. Open opportunities to transfer around the world within the company.

Cons

If you are OK with being a number in a personless system, then this is the place for you to work. The day you stop being 100% billable to your client assignment you will appear on the watch list for the next person to be laid off.

Pros

In general a good work life balance

Cons

People are our greatest asset- really means they can be bought sold and traded at a moments notice. Might well end up working for someone who was run off multiple projects by the client
