NO opportunities for advancement in internal finance group.

Pros

Benefits are good and it is nice to work with intelligent people. Company tries to represent teamwork and cooperative spirit but....(see cons)

Cons

Salary freeze in 2009. Performance evaluations are meaningless. Work+life+fit is a joke when you actually need to have a life. Management is extremely careful not to document anything that can be used as proof of violations of discrimination laws and issues such as Family Medical Leave Act. BDO will force use of vacation time before you earn the maximum. Management will not discuss advancement and in some cases retaliates if you express interest in applying for other positions within the company. Beware of the "good old boy" network! Education assistance not available for administrative and finance positions.

Ok place to work with limited growth opportunities and lack of effective management.

Pros

High Visibility on Projects Smaller projects with small teams. Good place if you like to figure out everything on your own. They pay for many Microsoft Certifications.

Cons

SWC will often underbid a project in order to get the sale, which will results in undue stress on the deliver team, and has often soured relationship with clients. This also results in many consultants not having a positive work/life balance. They had a Management buy out a few years ago, and senior management is run by fairly incompetent people. Nice, but incompetent. They are still trying to figure out how to run a successful Software Development Practice. There are no defined processes and Software development follows wild west coding practices. Definitely does not hire the smartest group of people in the industry.
