Pros

Excellent Benefits (except there is no pension) Looks good on the resume for future employement You do get promoted relatively easily if you demonstrate your ability to succeed (at the lower levels at least, don't know about higher levels, above Senior Consultant).

Cons

Promotions and rating are at the whim of your managers and some sectors can be clickish limiting your ability to move up if you are not part of the "golden children". Moving from one project to another can ake an excessively long time, so if you are on a bad project you are in stuck for a while.

Pros

Great education, opportunity to touch tons of technologies and work with some of the best IBM professionals as well as exposure to work in multiple industries

Cons

Great educational training but not the best mentoring. Be ready to be thrown into the deep end and tread water or even swim laps right out the gate

Pros

The benefits are exceptional: free health insurance, dental insurance, disability, 15 vacation days, 12 holidays, 6% 401K matching, ability to work from home

Cons

I was frequently on call which meant I had to carry a pager for a week every other month The raises and promotions were pretty minimal each year I was not allowed to apply to other internal position even after deciding upon an availability date upon hiring.
