Pros

There can be a lot of opportunities to learn and grow if you are able to take advantage of them. However many reviews on here are from employees who say they have been ignored when looking to move into other roles. The salary is good, but in my opinion the rest of what you don't get is not worth the money.

Cons

I worked in a cliquey, miserable, unfriendly office. People pass by in the hallway and do not acknowledge each other. Aside from that, people sit in their cubes playing on their phones and on facebook. In a 2 month period, I did not see my "manager" for over 6 weeks- no communication or direction. The training was a joke -- be prepared to sit at your desk watching videos. I had to laugh at all of the mass emails that start with "Team, ...." As I have never worked somewhere with LESS of a team atmosphere. You are useless unless you are billable to clients. Be prepared to be over scheduled, under prepared, and have no backing or support. My first clue should have been that of the 3 people who interviewed me, within a few weeks, one left the company, one moved into another role, and one had nothing to do with what I was going to be doing. Not an upfront, pleasant, or smooth process. They also want encourage you to write a review on glassdoor before you even start (which I didn't) but I thought that seemed like a cry to get some good press. There is a reason they are not getting it.
