"Stay clear, if you value your career."

Senior project manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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!
