Pros

- Opportunities to travel - Some talented colleagues - Decent benefits

Cons

Like the other reviews say, it's an incompetent bureaucracy with zero soul. Management is only focused on making shareholders happy, not providing client service or cultivating a place where people are inspired to produce great work. There are an unbelievable amount of barriers to just doing your job, especially in terms of project management. Hard work is not recognized or rewarded: the attitude is "you're lucky to even have job." In a word: demoralizing.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
