Pros

Sogeti is a pool of brilliant and technically proficient people who are not only very adept at what they do, but are also extroverted, out-going, and generally very approachable. Exceptional benefits package, health/dental, PTO, 401k matching.

Cons

Though management puts on a dog-and-pony show about their dedication to the work-life balance and overall happiness of their employees, very little recognition is given to the worker bees. Training and development are encouraged and emphasized, but virtually no time or resources are allocated to helping this end, short of an on-line library that even garage-scale staffing companies provide. All consultants are expected to be 100% billable to client, and all non-billable activities -- including business development, training, recruiting events, and even MANDATORY meetings -- are not compensated for and even deducted from PTO. Houston local management is stubborn in their ways and shamelessly prioritizes bottom line over the morale of the general work force, hiding behind a slew of acronyms and trite sales-pitches.

Pros

Great mentorship, great career development such as trainings, certifications, education reimbursement. It is a good place to expand your skills and managers will step in and help you understand how to navigate tricky situations especially when clients are difficult.

Cons

Low pay. They tell potential hires about "the bench" and how you can still get bench pay when you're not billing at a client while they look for your next opportunity. Increasingly, they lay people off, sometimes after only a few days or right as you hit the bench. Often ask you to work beyond normal 8-5 contracting hours to contribute to the company after a full day of billable work or doing additional trainings on your own time (nights, weekends, using your own PTO). Quite often they paint a rosy picture during monthly internal updates, so you think you're on track for your full bonus payout and then when the year closes, they say other offices didn't make their numbers so our bonuses are lower.
