Pros

For executives, they have a "take as you need" vacation policy with no set amount of time. And it appears that some people actually do take advantage of this. Also, their HQ buildings in both Durham and Reading are very nice.

Cons

Very poor on boarding, virtually no process. Difficult for an "outsider" to learn the in's and out's of what's needed to succeed. Otherwise, the company is completely over-processed, so much so that it's difficult to get any work done. Colleagues will stab you in the back. Senior management demands are completely unrealistic. The CEO is a clueless consultant that doesn't know how to actually run a business. Really tough, painful place to work. Lot's of unhappy campers who smile on the surface, but underneath are seething.

A lot of confusion and competition on who engages clients and who gets credit for sales. Clients are often confused on who is the point of contact .
