Pros

Experience gained quickly on project, client, and through long hours; great co workers; broad clients/ projects. Great way to launch a career, but one has to be very self guided and fight for training, development etc. (There are college hires who have not seen a training course past orientation in two years.)

Cons

Long hours - and getting longer, heavy focus on billable work (120% utilization is nothing special any more and won't get you a decent year end rating), very little going on in terms people development/ training etc. (no conferences, little external training if any at all, most of training budget is spent on ~5 standard courses around software engineering, RUP, engagement management).

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
