Pros

-great exposure to a variety of work; cool projects -decent year over year raises

Cons

-culture of leadership enjoys watching you suffer and work insane hours -abrasive and inappropriate to females in general and culture that thinks that is humorous -not possible for me to feel good ethically/morally with how they treat people and conduct work or "work-related" activities -because of bureaucracy there are limits (you may not experience in other consulting firms) such as being tagged to a start class, not seeing projects through but being used to plug in here and there, little room to differentiate yourself and your compensation (bonuses are minimal anyway)

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
