Pros

A good place to get a broad experience and work with some really great people. There's a 20 word minimum for this to post, but I really can't think of anything else I would categorize as positive.

Cons

The company sells services/programs before they are ready to be implemented. Employees are left figuring out work arounds and trying to explain to clients why what they are paying for isn't working. Training in many jobs is almost non-existent. You sink or swim. Good people quit because they just can't take the stress. Staffing on projects is completely unrealistic. Management is located in its own building in Waltham, while everyone else is in Massachusetts is 20 miles away in Billerica.
