Pros

Benefits are great especially for parents or expecting parents. 12 weeks paid parental leave @67%. 401k contribution up to 5% match. Corporate values match with internal culture (at least in my office / leadership, exceptions detailed below)

Cons

Business processes and management decisions driven by engineering and revenues, blind spot on personnel management practices and planners (low-revenue) teams. Difficult promotional landscape mid-career. Tough on project managers (just a lot on their shoulders).

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
