Pros

I got paid to do nothing but two training projects that last 2-3 months each in the span of 14 months.

Cons

say they care in big meetings but don't actually care when it comes person to person. Have to basically get hired while working there to get on a client project. have 5 weeks to get on a project when there is no work to get. They don't care about you. No one to talk to. Management is a joke. No learning experience. No guidance. No growth. over employed with no work I don't see this company lasting or making a good name for itself.
