Pros

PowerObjects can be a good place for entry level consultants as there is training and decent pay for people with little experience.

Cons

The upper management is very good at promoting their company and making employees feel they can do no better. After working there for a number of years, I realized that leadership cares first about pleasing Microsoft and making a profit. Clients rate much lower, and employees are their last concern. Their lack of care for the employees shows in their poor benefits package that favors people who are completely dedicated to serving the company. Leadership has a tendency to be abusive toward employees, especially those who don't buy into the ethic that PowerObjects is the end all be all. Also, there are very few career opportunities for those who want to become more than what they were hired to do. Don't hope to build marketable skills that go beyond being a MSCRM consultant. Employees are treated like commodities.

Pros

Free lunch once a month, and decent benefits.

Cons

PowerObjects seems to be a very confused company that has experienced growth and lost sight of their own core values. The company is a lot of hype and no follow through. They hook inexperienced prospective employees with false promises. They prefer to hire employees with less qualifications than the industry standard and pay much less than industry standard. They do not do regular employee reviews and will play favorites when it comes to promotions and raises. They continue to hire new consultants even when current employees are struggling to get billable hours and create a kill or be killed environment. All the awards, free lunches and benefits all look great on the outside but the company will manipulate you into thinking you are getting a great opportunity. Once you dig deeper and realize the facade you will be hoping for an easy way out. You will be at the mercy of their leadership team who will promote their friends and cut everyone else short. They use the term "lateral move" to manipulate employees to take a promotion without a pay increase. I would highly recommend thinking twice if you are interested in PowerObjects everything you see on the outside is not what it seems.
