Pros

Large company with a wealth of technical/industry expertise to learn from early in your career; lots of training for onboarding employees to get adjusted

Cons

Very strict useful billability (UB) targets; PE-owned firm means pressure to perform for employees and thus profit for PE firm; sometimes struggles connecting new employees to work

Pros

Interesting projects, flexible work hours, ability to pivot to new disciplines and teams

Cons

Employees are getting squeezed by increasingly difficult metrics, with less compensation, less work won because rates are now set so high. Less and less investment in employees through benefits and upskilling. Managers are spread so thin they can’t give time to their team.
