Pros

Great benefits, including health and plenty of time off. Lots of really bright, capable colleagues in the company in many specialties.

Cons

Company is publicly traded, which means managing performance by the quarter, rather than long-term thinking. Also, it is large and risk-averse, which limits the ability to respond to market opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible work arrangements. I can start and end work any time I like. I can take days off whenever I need them, provided I have the vacation/banked time. Good compensation compared to other consulting firms I worked for. Fun team members, and relaxed environment.

Cons

A fast growing company with an acquisition strategy means competing cultures between business units. Sometimes hard to get things done with the interface between those points. Very few standard procedures so work can seem chaotic and inconsistent, although it all gets done at the end of the day
