Pros

- Big name clients - Good pay for starters

Cons

- Training for college hires doesn't represent open needs - university recruitment is totally mismanaged - No choice in roles/projects - limited number of projects to choose from and the choice is made for you by the resource managers who couldn't care less about your personal career path/ambitions/interests/ or even talents for that matter - No social camaraderie - out of about 500 employees in LA area, only a group of 10-20 actively participates in social events (if and when those ever happen) - Lacking talent - people's skills are generally below average across the board. Poor communication skills, managers lacking basic people and project management knowledge - Too much politics within projects and on corporate level - transparency is almost discouraged; management "initiatives"/promises never live to full fruition - Arcane internal technology/tools - own helpdesk is a disaster! So inefficient and frustrating. Slow computers that keep being recycled after over 5 years of use! Time and expense tool is the most ridiculous waste of time - No flexibility - long hours at client site, travelling, nightly offshore calls; sick leaves, work from home and flexible schedule request are not rejected, but highly looked down upon

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
