Pros

In my department (I&D), we don't engage in extra work for clients. It's rare that the working hours exceed the standard, as we strive to maintain a consultancy approach. Additionally, some clients have interesting technical projects.

Cons

To build a career, one needs to adapt to questionable practices, such as nonsensical internal presentations and unwarranted extra working hours (this is the sector). The salary is low, and there is no recognition, through career advancements, for employees who grow within the company. They sell inexperienced new employees on projects with high technical demands solely for profit, subsequently complicating the work of their more experienced peers on the team without rewarding them. You can lack technical proficiency but still advance in your career based solely on the commercial/consultant aspect of the job – so it is not the ideal place for those who want to pursue a technical role.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
