Pros

The work performed in the field for clients is amazing, so if you are looking to work at a place where you can get great experience working on world-class projects, this is the place for you. There are opportunities to work on projects around the world.

Cons

Be prepared to for senior management to want cutting edge technology without approving budget to implement that technology. There is tremendous ambiguity within corporate which makes achieving your objectives extremely difficult. The strategy of growing via merger and acquisition means everything changes from day-to-day. Training and professional development is non-existent at the corporate level. The corporate experience is a frustrating one if this sort of environment is not your style.

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)
