Pros

Some interesting projects (run by pocket filling clowns). Some good people, unfortunately they generally don't last long!

Cons

Billable hours (the "U" word - utilisation) must be 87% billable, inefficiency due to zero training is punishable by death. Communication and internal politics are also a real issue (old legacy companies fight it out for control instead of benefiting from obvious synergies). Training is non existent and you have to threaten to leave prior to any raise above 1.5%, it makes you sick!

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
