Pros

Branded souvenirs, company activities outside the workplace.

Cons

Company with poor management. They sell a lot of smoke in social networks and it is not as it seems. The projects are short-lived and there is no job stability. They have changed Talent Success Leads several times and the last one is the worst of all, he has no idea of agile methodologies and much less of technologies and the industry. Every employee who reaches the talent pool has his days numbered in the company, so there is no growth. I knew the case of a QA girl who lasted more than 1 year without a project and because she was close to the Country Manager, they never touched her. You have to be part of his personal key ring to survive there. My advice when you are contacted by a recruiter, ask for the scope of the project and the type of client.

Pros

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Cons

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
