Pros

Benefits and healthcare are decent. Available training good.

Cons

No one told me what the grades were or their significance during recruitment. I soon learned I should have been brought in at a higher grade. I was not allowed to apply for open positions that I was more than qualified for because I was brought in at a lower grade. Titles are not really important to me as long as the work is enjoyable. Being hired directly onto the bench was also a new experience for me. So I got to be stressed, trying to find a suitable position for 8 months. They laid off the bench but have since sent me emails for open positions at the higher grades. I work because I like to work. I don't like having my skills belittled to keep me in a lower grade -- even though I was told that would be corrected.

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

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.
