Business Outlook

Pros

Work with a very diverse group of people. If you are in the right group, you can be exposed to many interesting and innovative development projects.

Cons

They have essentially cut the entry/lower-mid level positions and it is run by all managers who have 10-12 years of experience. The managers then farm work out to consultants in the field. They are losing fresh ideas and dedicated young workers because of this.
