Pros

- Access to MSDN lic., if you beg and plead to the right people - Sogeti was big on people getting MSDN certs. - there was some good managers and sales people, but few and far between

Cons

- health insurance sucks - had worked at three diffrent office locations and never met anyone who has a firm understanding of the SDLC (software development life cycle) - they hire kids straight out of college who have no experience and put them in roles that they are destined to fail at - Sogeti highly encourages your to attend after hours events that are usually a total waste of time and just eat into your free time - Sogeti Management that I interacted with was totally clueless what was happening at client site - there was a manditory 2-3 week "Sogeti shutdown" in the Dec. 2008. If you had PTO builtup, you HAD to use it, if you did not, you HAD to burn 2009 PTO that you did not even accrue yet. Oh yeah, NO BODY ever told me about this before I was hired, NOBODY - profit sharing that was promised in 08 to be paid out in 09 was cancellled - the I3 bonus program was a joke - Sogeti highly encouraged trying to outsource as much as the work as possible to India, which obviously leaves less for the US employees

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.
