Pros

Good office hardware. fast computer, big desk. If you have connection with the right people, you can talk all day with your co-workers without doing anything and still get a raise at the end of the year.

Cons

horrible environment for hard-working but quiet people, especially if you are a women. No work life balance at all. Management fires employees to cover their own mistakes. They lay off people when the team actually needs more help.

Pros

Great company to work for, solid corporate profile, resources and systems in place. People are friendly to work with - all the practitioners and operations staff

Cons

Hierarchical in nature, so sometimes that produces competitive streak in employees, but that can be seen as a good or bad thing.

Pros

It is easy to access and have multiple offices of you are looking to travel. Salaries are competitive and are growing worldwide.

Cons

Small office, little to no assistance on projects. Future can be long with the company but employees become pigeonholed. If there is a poor HR department and managers are not straight forward. Project managers are hard to contact. I would not recommend this company. If you are looking to learn and grow this is not for you.
