Pros

exposure to many clients, work varies by client to keep it interesting, work with subject matter experts in their field, smart people, benefits are competitive, flexible schedule (that's a pro and a con)

Cons

long hours, hard to disconnect, work load can be extreme (too heavy and too light), goals can be aggressive (billable hours and sales goals), compensation, culture is not work hard/play hard -- just work hard

Pros

Great company name and you get to work with very intelligent people.

Cons

The environment is one where a good portion of your coworkers are reluctant to help if you need it. Truly more of a sink or swim environment where being independent is greatly valued. Training is almost nonexistent and when it occurs, it's rushed and pretty much ineffective. Overall, the culture is cliquey and you're clearly either a part of the "in club" or you're not.

Pros

As far as I could tell, there are none. High school at its worst. Purgatory at its best. Maybe the commute was not bad and you don't have to pay for parking.

Cons

I wouldn't even know where to start. It's a nightmare from beginning to end. Vicious people, terrible hours, non customer friendly
