Pros

Smart people hired to this business & my team peers were great guys. Also great products to work with.

Cons

The open honest environment that they talk about in terms of culture is not there. It's all about the atmosphere, so many people had left by the time I was finishing up that I was delighted to be leaving. This is not the place to build a long term career unless you can work in an environment with a lot of people moving on.

Pros

Flexibility, working from home, strong user of Apple products, neat and innovative technology, disruptive models to cloud and crowd. Genuine model approaches for optimizing Salesforce deployments.

Cons

Delivery model is very much stuck in the old SDLC approach, labeling use of stand-ups and dev-only sprints as "hybrid agile" does not make one Agile nor enable benefits realization of the methodology. New hire approach is very much sink or swim. "Disruptive innovation" seems to be lip service to actually internalizing a culture of disruption. A lot of cracks in the culture as very senior leaders leave.

Dust Bowl Where Clouds Don't Always Reign

Pros

Work/life balance is a great advantage, since consultants are all virtual. This allows you to work the hours you want to work (outside of meetings) and fit your job into your life, not the other way around. For the most part, there is no micromanaging, except for some PM's Home office technology and software provided to employees is a huge plus. You get what you need, and then some. Travel is minimal

Cons

Reorgs occur once per year on average, which lead managers to not invest in their people Little to no opportunity for career advancement Managers are not willing to go to bat to support their direct reports' needs. Managers lie about barriers to advancement, or provide "keep up the good work" messages when employees ask for criteria to reach the next level. When you do meet all of the criteria, you're told, "I cannot promote you outside of the merit cycle," then multiple employees get promoted outside of it. Job descriptions and qualifications can only be pulled from job postings. Even then, they're not applicable. Reactive culture that desires to be proactive and fails Below market compensation in marketplaces where competitors are willing to compensate much more and provide structured, stable career growth. Vast disparities in compensation for the same job profile, as there are no salary guidelines. Also, compensation for a "consultant" should not be considered the same across the platforms on which they consult...the market decides. Tenure takes precedence over merit and value generation After drawing initial fresh breaths of air in the first six months of joining the company, the air is knocked out of you upon realizing you may not be one of the "chosen."
