Pros

Brand name world wide well known (not great in all countries though)

Cons

1. Not enough intelligence around. Don't know where they should be headed in terms of strategy. Most of the work won is of contracting nature rather than use of good work and win win strategy for selling. 2. Unethical recruiting practices by giving incorrect details and assurances during interviews, work scenario does not match with the assurances provided during interview. 3. Partners are not smart enough and do not have the ability to sell well. They get all their work done by others and portray that they are deeply involved. 4. Significant favoritism attitude shown. Performance of good people does not matter, what matters is how close you are to the people making decisions. 5. Perceptions matter more than good work. 6. Employees bullied through the HR route by telling them they are not performing well and in some cases unethically asked to leave. 7. Undue pressure on employees who are performing. No pressure created for favorites who are sitting on the bench for a long time and not delivering to the level required. 8. Very easy to get promoted and be nominated for monthly awards - whether or not you deserve it, no one cares.

Pros

There are no pros. People are backstabbing and manipulative, and the hours are horrific.

Cons

Everything about it. If you go to a job here, kiss your personal life goodbye. Managers are horrendously inept, and are quick to throw anybody under the bus when they screw up. If a Senior or Manager feels threatened by you, expect a crappy review because they will do anything to impede your advancement. Busy season averaged 85 hours a week, and I was disciplined for leaving at 2 AM, which apparently was "too early" to go home. I was also disciplined for taking a lunch break. I'm glad I worked here for the sole reason of knowing what kind of environment I don't want to work in.
