Pros

- Very good company to start a career with. There's a lot to learn and it's a great introduction in the IT world. It really opens a lot of doors into this area. - It keeps growing as a company, so the opportunities are not missing. If you're showing some interest and put in some effort, it's quite easy to promote from entry level to senior advisor/ back office positions, even in 6-8 months of employment. Things get complicated, though, from Team leader and above. - they have some really heavy names as customers from all fields & industries, you can somehow feel proud for working for some of them - salaries are not high, but decent. Again, good starting point.

Cons

- no transparency from management; not even from local middle management towards people, so I'm not even mentioning senior management - some of the managers are arrogant and self-sufficient, they create a toxic environment in their teams. This gets even worse towards top management. However, this is not happening in all of the teams, there still are reasonable managers. - people don't feel valued and cared about; they're actually mocking the company's motto "people matter, results count" because at times they feel it's exactly the opposite - projects with night shifts can be really hard to keep up with, depending on the hours you work. You also get to work weekends.

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.
