Pros

Salary, benefits, professional development, experience

Cons

Disorganized company all-round, zero to little communication about anything, little cohesion I was hired on full time, then 3 months in to the assignment they told my team we would not be working with the client in a couple months. They told us not to worry and that they would find everyone something. No one from my team heard word from anyone until a week before our assignment ended and not everyone was placed with another client. Personally, I ended being screwed because I was one of the people to not be placed and was out of a job. I was disappointed with the overall experience because no one was being told anything and I was only being considered for the job I was doing, not other jobs that I was experienced in and capable of.

Pros

Largest in the world. Invests heavily in knowhow acquisition. Very senior network worldwide. Strives to communicate and share oportunities worldwide.

Cons

North American and European commercial standards are very hard to apply in Emerging Markets, making K/F rather uncompetitive. New and existing know-how tends to be concentrated in a few hotspots, making it expensive to apply them in other geographies. Some Seniors are not accessible, or only pay lipservice to their leadership roles.
