Pros

Brand name.....its a good resume builder for sure. If you are motivated, self-starter and can build your own network within the company then this is the place for you. If you expect the support or a team to be supporting you constantly then this is not the place you'd enjoy.

Cons

If you want the guidance then expect it remotely. No support for growth. You are just a number making the utilization. Decent benefits and good RRSP matching. The folks who have the knowledge are available remotely.... but you struggle reaching out and to get support. So if you are stuck working for a client in Public Sector then its a Dead End for you. The company has switched to Cloud focus. But there is no defined path for you to get there!

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
