Pros

- Some very smart engineers to learn from - Some of the clients are interesting

Cons

- Cult like management, Client Leadership Teams (CLT) - Promotions and pay increases are mutually exclusive, you are better off getting promoted with a raise elsewhere - 100% beholden to client's ways of working, belief system. Engagements feel like staff augmentation. - So much lip service about DEI, harmony, inclusion, etc but it's a publicly traded company trying to make money. They will, and have, furlough you, belittle you, lay you off in an instant.
