Pros

There is a Work from Home component, but it keeps changing, so I am not sure where that stands

Cons

Perceptive has no work life balance, they want you available at all times. They give you a blackberry so you can be reached by management or the client at all hours. There is no room for advancement, if you are good at your job, they just give you more work. They do not support new idea's, to help streamline process. Management does not accept feedback, they just give. Once you show a desire to move to another position, the work environment becomes worse, if you disagree, they will literally make up a reason to fire you. Staff that is incompetent is kept on much longer than they should.

Pros

A fast paced enviroment, great for those who are eager to progress and gain exposure to many different types of projects. A very flexible employer in my experience.

Cons

Salaries aren't the best and it is often not a 9 to 5 job. For me, job satisfaction is more important.
